Indiana is the third studio recording by JC Autobody, released in 2014 by Young Tobacco Records. It was produced by Jonathon Newby (as JC Autobody) in Fishers, IN, and features six original songs. The EP's title is sometimes stylized with a "metal umlaut" over the second "n."
Indiana is generally much heavier in tone than the previous two releases due to the use of a Viking-Hagstrom baritone guitar played through a Sunn Beta Lead amplifier, though it briefly reconnects with the fast hardcore punk from TRASH with the song "Ripped," and continues a pattern of including an instrumental organ track midway through the album. Lyrical themes include recklessness, depravity and mortality.
Songs from Indiana have been played live in Chicago, Indianapolis and Muncie, IN. "The Way to Dusty Death" (not to be confused with the Brazil song of the same name) was used in the streaming series Shameless.
All songs written and produced by JC Autobody. Recorded at 14477 Wolverton Way.
Mastered by Mike Major.
Additional guitar by Eric Johnson.

Juggernaut
suicide mission gonna drive state lines / against the wind on the skin notify your next of kin / no sound on the ground shape the shifter shift it down / speed of light speed of sound revolution breeding ground / i’m destruction i am bane i will haunt your dreams again / pick you up set you down leave you stranded outside of town / i am strong i’m untamed i drive a classic chevrolet / sick sedation gone tomorrow kamikaze here today / cause i’m rollin out on hell and diesel
Bleed Out
i find myself in need again i don’t know how long it’s been / midnight prowl with wounded chin i got to heal this blackened skin / acid rain down my face like crack cocaine and second base / if i die before i sleep i pray the road my soul to keep / indian summer fever days i keep counting a hundred ways / go ahead i’ll do it my own way
Ripped
i dont want it i don’t need it a dictator violent leaning i don’t need you around rev the motor satan sound ripped again / i dont want it i don’t need it devil driver’s scythe is sweeping i don’t need you around rev the motor satan sound
The Way to Dusty Death
at the crossroads that’s where my body’s found at the crossroads that’s where my body’s found you can dig me up and pass me around / there’s a woman she got me on the line there’s a woman she got me on the line
that woman’s on fire that woman made me die / at the crossroads that’s where i took my last breath at the crossroads that’s where i took my last breath with that woman on the way to dusty death

Electric
one more time to break into i got a busted lip and bad tattoos / there’s a hungry shadow cast away
by an electric lightbulb cabaret / i’m in a basement going round and round there’s a smell of sweat a fighting sound / i’m being dragged through the mud by my feet but there’s no other way i’ll claim defeat / dance around my line of sight throw a one two punch a roundhouse right / you better break a bottle on my teeth cause i’ll have no reaction no retreat / i wanna be electric
