The In Out were a Boston-area garage rock band primarily active from 1992 through 2012.[1] Heavily influenced by The Fall, Link Wray, and Spherical Objects (among others), Pitchfork described their sound as "classically lo-fi, with vocals that could have been taped from a payphone."[2]
The band was formed in Allston, Massachusetts, by Todd Nudelman and David Pierce in 1992.[3] They released their first single on their own Viscera-Versa label in 1994 and it went to #1 on Harvard (WHRB-FM) and MIT (WMMS-FM) college stations in 1995.[3] The band toured the US and Europe, touring with The Slaves (1998), Sebadoh (1999), The Mondo Crescendo (1999), Bobby Conn (2000), and the Guinea Worms (2011).[1] Over their 20-year existence, the group opened for numerous local, national, and international acts including !!!, Arab On Radar, Ari Up, Bon Savants, The Cannanes, The Chinese Stars, Cibo Matto, Come, Cotton Candy, The Country Teasers, The Dirty Three, Eugene S. Robinson, The Frogs, Frustrations, Japanther, Kilslug, Mission of Burma, Neptune, Nightingales, Pop. 1280, Psycho, Skeleton Key, Six Finger Satellite, Spindrift, Super Furry Animals, Thee OhSees, and Thomas Function.[4]
Nudelman - the group's one consistent member throughout their existence - says the band is "All about self-expression.... It's in there and it's gotta come out."[5] The Boston Globe called the band "one of the finer European art-punk bands to ever come out of Boston."[6]
