Coloring books aren’t just for kinds anymore since the release of the Indie Rock Coloring Book. Produced by the Yellow Bird Project, this book is full of hours of enjoyment for hipsters everywhere and includes a range of activities within its pages that only true indie rock fans can appreciate. For example, finding birds in Devendra’s beard or coloring in cult favorite Clap Your Hands and Say Yeah’s crazy carnival.

Published (unsurprisingly) by Chronic, all the proceeds for this coloring book go to charity.
