80’s indie-punk band Squirrel Bait and “Rose Island Road”. Video includes family tree of the early days of the Louisville indie scene with Squirrel Bait’s links to later, better known acts like Slint and Will Oldham (a/k/a Palace Brothers, a/k/a Bonnie “Prince” Billy).  After Bob Mould spread the word, Spin magazine jumped on the bandwagon.  They broke up in 1988, about the time they were finishing high school and heading to college and elsewhere.
