InMe

rock

The group originally formed as Drowned in 1996. The members of the band at that time were Dave McPherson on guitar and vocals, Joe Morgan on bass and backing vocals and Simon Taylor on drums. They played several local venues, getting their first interviews and airplay on Brentwood-based station Phoenix FM. They signed with MFN in 2001 and changed their name to InMe to avoid confusion with the American Christian rock group of the same name. During 2004, however, the record company MFN collapsed and InMe were left without a label. They signed with V2 Records and created their own Pandora's Box Records. As of 19 July 2006 Joe Morgan ceased to play bass for InMe. He has been replaced by Dave's brother Greg McPherson. Joe has chosen to leave the band on good terms and to pursue a different career. In 2007 InMe agreed a deal with Graphite Records for the release of their Daydream Anonymous album. In summer/autumn 2008, second guitarist Ben Konstantinovic joined the band. Their fourth album Herald Moth is out now.

Early performances of tracks off Daydream Anonymous have suggested to many that InMe may be heading back slightly towards the music heard in Overgrown Eden. It could be argued that InMe's music style on Daydream Anonymous is more progressive and technical. Their new album is said to go even further down this direction and contain a very technical and progressive sound and will also incorporate mathcore influences. [edit]Overgrown Eden InMe's first single, UnderDose, was released in 2002 and entered the UK charts at #66. This was followed by the single 'Firefly' which narrowly missed out on an Official UK Top 40 position, entering at 43. The band released one more single before the album; 'Crushed like fruit' which reached #25 in the UK charts. Their debut album was delayed several times until its eventual release on 30 January 2003 titled Overgrown Eden. The record entered the UK album charts at #15. This was followed by the s...
