Indifference

Indifference is the second studio album by American punk rock band the Proletariat. The record was named after its opening song, which was inspired by the photography of David Henry of the homeless in Boston, Massachusetts. One of Henry's photos serves as the album's front cover. In late 1984, before Indifference was completed, lead vocalist Richard Brown and drummer Tom McKnight left the band. They were replaced by Laurel Ann Bowman, and Steve Welch, both of whom performed on the new album's songs "Homeland" and "The Guns Are Winning". Roger Miller of Mission of Burma makes a guest appearance playing the piano in the track "An Uneasy Peace", which is an updated version from that contributed to the hardcore punk compilation P.E.A.C.E., released a year earlier on R Radical Records.
