Welcome to the Louisville Hardcore/Punk/Indie Rock History.

The purpose of this History is to catalog the underground music scenes of Louisville, KY. Regional, smaller areas (insofar as the size of their punk/hc circles) such as Lexington, Evansville are more than welcome to add their information as well. We currently have 4,083 articles for you to expand on and contribute to.

After a long lockdown approximately between 2013 - 2023, the History *is now open for new account creation and public editing*. There is a lot of content from that 10 years missing, feel free to add it! Please note that due to bots and spam, accounts younger than 4 days old are prevented from adding new pages. Please be objective and fair when adding information and feel free to correct facts or tone on existing articles.
Defamatory content may be edited or removed by an Admin.
