About Us

The  Katatonics are a three piece surf rock band from Bloomington,  Indiana, known for their energetic and reverb drenched instrumental  guitar music. Formed in 2013 by Chris Hack they've been performing local  venues and touring when possible. They have had several releases since  their debut, including their first official EP 7" Swamp Terror, in 2017.  In 2023 Katatonics released their self-titled album which received the  Punk Rock Night of Indianapolis award for best local release. The latest  single EP release "Panther in the Sky" has been released  independently through the band's house studio KATBAT Records. This  latest release reflects the most recent line up change, with Sam Pierce  of the Swing Rays, on drums, Chirs Hack on guitar, and Mike Morgan on  Bass. The Katatonics evoke vibes of classic surf from the early 60s  while being refreshingly modern. Whether you're new to the surf music  genre or a faithful fan of all the classics, The Katatonics continue to  deliver the tunes. Currently working on a new full length LP set for a  2026 release. definitely stay tuned.
