Indica Records

Founded in 1997 by legendary Montreal indie-rockers, GrimSkunk, Indica Records was started with a grassroots, do-it-yourself approach; and an overriding belief in "artist first" vision. Armed with the mandate of supporting independent releases for great touring bands, lacking label support in Canada, Indica has since grown by leaps and bounds and has expanded its repertoire to encompass a variety of genres beyond the rock/punk/alternative music on which the label was founded, including folk, pop, indie, world and electro/rock. Over the years we have worked with many domestic and international artists including Priestess, Colin Moore, Joseph Arthur, Kim Churchill, Valaire, Half Moon Run, Phantogram, The Franklin Electric, Trois Accords, Vulgaires Machins, Blue King Brown, Voivod, and many others.
