The Inbreds were a Canadian alternative rock band formed in 1992. Originally from Kingston, Ontario,[1] the band relocated to Halifax, Nova Scotia in 1996 and remained based there until breaking up in 1998. The band was a duo, consisting of vocalist/bassist Mike O'Neill and drummer Dave Ullrich.
Three of the four albums released during the band's existence reached number one on the Canadian national campus radio charts, and the band received two Juno nominations. The band was prominent in Canadian indie rock circles throughout the 1990s and were known for their unique, minimalist bass and drums approach,[2] and melodies and harmonies which drew on classic pop music influences such as The Beatles and The Beach Boys.[3]
