Joyful Noise Recordings is an
independent record label from
Indianapolis, Indiana. The label was founded in
2003 in
Bloomington, Indiana by Karl Hofstetter, who also played drums on many of the label's first releases. Joyful Noise currently has a roster of 20+ bands of various musical styles, though according to the label, each artist "in one way or another bridges this gap between pop and noise." Along with housing offices and the warehouse of the label, their
Fountain Square, Indianapolis location hosts live shows and a small record store.
