melodic nu metal music group, hailing from Indianola,Iowa .History
Index Case formed in 1998, when guitarist Josh Parker and drummer Jordan Spence started writing music in Spence's basement. Vocalist Joe Ansley joined later. The band bought recording equipment and began to record "Birth". Index Case started booking shows in
Des Moines and slowly built a following. Soon they added Korey Birkenholtz on bass. The band recorded two more independent albums "Glass" and "The Weak and the Wounded" before finally signing amajor label deal with Elektra/No Name Records.They headed to
California to record their album "The L". Soon after the album's completion, No Name Music folded, and Index Case was left without a label. Also at this time, bassist Korey Birkenholtz left the band for personal reasons. Bassist Nick Borror was selected as his replacement.Index Case soon joined Mortal Music, operated by
Tim King ofSOiL . They used the recordings of "The L" and their self titled "Index Case" album was released onSeptember 27 ,2005 . The band began to tour for the album, and eventually founding member Jordan Spence had to leave the band. Index Case selected Ryan Berrier (formerly fromDestrophy ) as his replacement however after 2 years they have also decided to part ways with him. They have recently had Josh Ickowitz join as the new drummer.They were also featured on the The Texas Chainsaw Massacre
Soundtrack , and theUFC compilation. An excerpt of their song "The L" was used in the first trailer for the Iowa Music Scene Documentary "A Clown Short of Destiny ".As of 2008, they are writing material for their next album. Two new songs from the album can be heard on their myspace.
