'''Indorphine''' is an American [[alternative metal]] band from [[Orlando, Florida]].
== History ==
Like many influential [[grassroots]] bands before them, Indorphine began in the garage of lead singer Jimmy Grant as he, and high school friend and drummer Everett Sailor, annoyed their Kissimmee neighbors with their loud and abstract music. One day however a neighbor from across the street, interested instead of disgusted in the odd noises resonating daily, introduced himself as Buddy Fischel to the already named duo Indorphine with an interest in joining forces. An experienced guitar player from Syracuse, NY,
The band began rigorously playing locally and regionally, writing new material during downtime. Their sound evolved from the adolescence of their debut album to that of a more matured band who'd found their voice;
After shooting and releasing a music video for the song ''Spaghetti'', they began an extensive touring cycle with bands such as Shinedown, Bobaflex, The Accident Experiment, Psychostick, Invitro, etc. Indorphine also began playing at landmark venues such as CBGB, The Whiskey, The Roxy, Key Club, House of Blues, and Hard Rock Live during their many tours promoting the ''Glowsticks'' album, and also performed at SXSW in Austin, Atlantis Music Conference in Atlanta, and large scale festivals such as
At the end of their winter 2007 tour, guitarist Adam Phillips decided it was time to part ways with the band and explore other aspects of life and music. His shoes were filled by Orlando guitarist Brett Walker. Founding member and drummer Everett Sailor departed the band shortly after, followed by rhythm guitarist Buddy Fischel. West Palm Beach native Chris Coleman stepped into the position of drummer and the band began touring again with the new lineup; a four piece.

Shortly after the Holiday Hate Tour with [[Psychostick]] and ''Screaming Mechanical Brain'' in 2007, Indorphine suddenly, and without notice, disbanded. Two months later Jimmy Grant resurfaced as the new bassist for [[Psychostick]] - a position he would quit in December 2009.
In September 2010, Jimmy Grant posted a video, hinting at Indorphine reuniting with its classic lineup. Jimmy, along with Tanner Keegan and Everett Sailor, had been working on a concept album entitled ''Cowboy Maloney's Electric City vs. The Chocolate [[Chewbacca]]pocalypse'' for several months.<ref>{{cite web | title =The returnification of Indorphine? | publisher =YouTube | date =
Guitarist Adam Phillips joined NYHC heavyweights Pro-Pain, the band of which rhythm guitarist Marshall Stephens was also a member, and began touring Europe extensively. Drummer Everett Sailor began working as an airplane mechanic. Vocalist Jimmy Grant became a father of two children. And Bassist Tanner Keegan joined the band Tremonti after the departure of their bassist Wolfgang Van Halen.
In 2017, Jimmy Grant and Everett Sailor began writing new material for a brand new project entitled Dr. Awesomeballs and the Compendium of Historical
After completing that performance and making Pete Medrano a permanent member of the band, the entire world shut down due to the COVID
After wrapping up the mixing and mastering of ''F.F.A.T.O.K.C'', Tanner Keegan made the decision to step away from Indorphine for at least a year due to his own extensive recording and touring cycle with Tremonti. Indorphine asked for his blessing to find a substitute bassist during his time away, and Tanner willingly gave it to them. Marshall Stephens, being an extremely proficient bassist and ex member of the band, was the obvious choice. Stephens accepted the offer, and the band again began playing shows around the state of Florida.
There were three singles released as album promotion of the ''F.F.A.T.O.K.C.'' EP. The title track was released as a single on October 21, 2022. ''Patina'' was released on November 18, 2022. And ''The Curse of El Gordo'' was released on December 16, 2022. There are also official guitar playthrough videos for all three singles available on the band's YouTube channel, as well as a three part "behind the scenes" documentary which brings the viewer along into the process of writing and recording the album. The entire ''Food Fight at the O.K. Corral'' EP was released on January 13, 2023, and is available on all streaming platforms. The band currently does not have plans to create physical copies of this release.
On January 30, 2023, the band announced via social media that Tanner Keegan had officially stepped down from his position in the band due to his continually busy schedule. In the same announcement, they welcomed Marshall Stephens into the band as a permanent member.
Indorphine is heavily known as one of the best metal bands to see live. Their show consists of extremely intense stage presence, swapping instruments with each other for different songs, and comedic stage banter. They make you feel as if you got run over by a circus.▼
Indorphine released ''Glowsticks for Clubbing Baby Seals'' on all streaming services March 24, 2023.
