Are InMe an unsung band? Is Overgrown Eden a forgotten classic? Well…you can make up your own mind on that.

Us? We’ve certainly made up our mind. In fact, we’re not even going to bother playing coy with you here - we only did this episode because we were asked to do it for “the patter” by friend of the pod Craig B. He also paid us a handsome sum of money for the “privilege” and we really wish he hadn’t. We also decided it was time to do this because we’re “clearing the decks”, so to speak, of our old Patreon tiers before we move to the new Unsung Record Club. Check out how cool this is - we’ll be shipping records soon!

Anyway, if you’re a fan of the band InMe, you might want to skip this episode.

Have the fans left yet?

Good.

First thing’s first - we’ve heard that they’re all nice guys. In fact we’ve heard that lead singer/only remaining original member Dave McPherson is a very nice guy. That’s awesome. You love to see it. But we’re sorry Dave…we just didn’t like any of your music.

On this episode we canter through all 7 of their albums before returning to Overgrown Eden and giving it a good once over. We also talk about nostalgia festivals and bands that probably should have stopped years ago but are somehow still going. Alongside this, we discuss the finer points of why bands suddenly seem to disappear after being on the cusp of fame, and dive into how the now defunct PledgeMusic (and other crowdfunding platforms) were something of a panacea for bands with small but fervent fan bases.

There’s no vote this week. We’ve taken the power away from you on this one. We don’t want this in our discography.

Next week - a surprise!
