Joan Of Arc is an indie/experimental outfit hailing from Chicago, IL. Formed in 1996 by former members of Cap'n Jazz, including Tim Kinsella, Mike Kinsella, and Sam Zurick, along with Erik Bocek and Jeremy Boyle. After some lineup changes and side projects, the band split in 2001 but was resurrected in 2003 by Tim Kinsella with Sam Zurick returning. Since then, Joan Of Arc has seen a rotating cast of musicians, including appearances by Mike Kinsella and Todd Mattei.

Influenced by bands like Cap'n Jazz and Make Believe, Joan Of Arc's sound is characterized by their experimental approach to indie rock. Their music combines intricate melodies with unconventional song structures to create a unique sonic experience.

With similarities to other influential bands such as Braid and The Promise Ring, Joan Of Arc has carved out their own niche in the indie music scene. Their discography showcases their evolution as artists over the years while maintaining their distinct sound.

Twenty years now there's been this thing, our band, Joan of Arc. Sometimes we forget about it and let it fizzle out for a year while we tend to our lives. Sometimes we cling to it for a year and wake up surprised and exhausted every day for months on end, given walking tours of old Italian towns, browsing dreary British pedestrian malls or barefooted organic grocers on the Pacific coast. We know how lucky we are.The less we feel like a band - the more we can continue to be a band, but escape that feeling of doing all those shitty, corny things expected of bands - the truer to ourselves we feel. And you all know it, everyone knows it even if everyone has to bury it to get on with their day-to-day: the truer to ourselves we feel, the better everything gets. We have shifted shapes and modified our approaches quite a number of times in the course of twenty years. And we've done so always aiming to stay true to ourselves at that moment, by instinct and with conscious intent. This time, it took us a long time to figure out how to start back up. We threw away a lot of songs and started over, over and over. But here's the thing: We are getting better at being ourselves. So many of the postures of youth just fall away with time. Most bands break up by that point, or become caricatures of their younger selves. Because money is tricky, or I should say, it comes to be that energy is tricky to muster after all of it goes into the basics of sustaining yourself.Every day, at some point, it occurs to me that Richard Brautigan killed himself at the age that I am now. But I've got this community of weirdo collaborators to lean on that he never had. We've never had an audience that gets any validation of its coolness through liking us. We've mangled, juxtaposed, and collaged too many elements for that social contract. But we trust each other. This time, finally, we trusted each other enough to throw all the songs away, to even throw away every preconceived idea about which one of us should take position at which instrument. We hit Record and played, and our collective tastes emerged. And they, our tastes in the moment, were the only standards in all the expanse of the stupefying and beautiful unknown universe, that we regarded as relevant in the least.
