"Insound was born in 1998, a glimmer in the eye of a bunch of indie rock kids who wanted to make the mail-order business better. Tired of perforated catalog pages, licking stamps and watching as dozens of Amazon-alikes sprouted up with no mind for underground excited. We have grown up from three guys and a machine, to a proud, successful mainstay of the indie rock community. [...] our continued commitment to embracing the new and thinking like a bunch of 23 year old indie rock mail-order kids has not changed.
