Ghost Mice


The Debt Of The Dead

A two piece political, anarchist, DIY folk punk band from Indiana. Both members, Chris Clavin and Hannah Jones, have been in the bands Disarm, The Devil Is Electric and Operation: Cliff Clavin. They decided to play folk punk so they could tour easily, play almost anywhere and get rid of the usual restrictions of amps and equipment, often playing in backyards and on street corners.

Paradise Lost

Operation: Cliff Clavin were an influential DIY political pop punk band from Indiana. Their songs are sloppy and recorded badly, which is how it should be; stripped down, simple, fast and smart.
