Greenpoint-based ecommerce site Insound is known primarily for its encyclopedic trove of indie rock—and in physical forms both new and old. While the store has hundreds of mp3s, according to Matt Wishnow, Insound founder and president, 60 percent of the store’s sales are vinyl records.
But being in what is arguably America’s indie rock capital in the moment—as well as “so many great record stores in Williamsburg,” as Wishnow put it—Insound sought to differentiate itself a bit. 
Enter its collection of art and screen printed clothing selections. On display and on sale from Thursday through yesterday at Williamsburg event space 303 Grand, located at its namesake address, the looks embrace a major undertone of the sound that has put the Williamsburg-Greenpoint area on the map during this decade.
And certainly, 2000s Brooklyn scene darlings such as Department of Eagles and Clap Your Hands, Say Yeah get their due in the Insound 20 line of posters, t-shirts and sweatshirts. Released last year, the collection features the designs of Oakland artist Jason Munn, a.k.a. The Small Stakes and says Wishnow, was the first time posters have been commissioned to feature a group of bands independent of a concert tour.
Railroad Earth played Dec 10 at the Music Hall of Williamsburg, and enthusiasm by loyal fans for the band was high; seemed like everybody was swaying, many singing along. The sound of the six virtuoso musicians was constant and full, almost symphonic at times.
