The Inbreds (Canadian indie band)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- This article is about a Canadian band. For other uses, see disambiguation page: The Inbreds.
The Inbreds were a Canadian indie rock band formed in 1992.
Originally from Kingston, Ontario, the band later moved to Halifax, Nova Scotia.
The band consisted of singer-songwriters Mike O'Neill and Dave Ullrich, and were renowned in Canadian indie rock circles for their unique, mostly guitar-less sound. O'Neill played bass and Ullrich played drums. A few Inbreds songs did have guitars in the mix; these were usually played by guest musicians such as Matt Murphy.
The band's biggest hit was "Any Sense of Time", from the album Kombinator.
Following their 1998 album Winning Hearts, the band parted ways. Each has since released material, O'Neill as a solo artist and Ullrich with the band Egger. A number of CDs containing rare and unreleased material were subsequently released on Ullrich's independent label Zunior.
In 2007, Ullrich and O'Neill reformed the band to record a version of "Dope Fiends and Booze Hounds" for the Rheostatics' tribute album The Secret Sessions.
