Inchworm thinks you’re rad!

About Me

Bio - Press:
Inchworm is the novella you've yet to write, the bedtime story you will one day tell, and the fanciful version of your life that you live only in your head. Culled from the hearts and minds of Chicago's most underrated tavern troubadours and best-kept secrets, the group's inception itself is the stuff of dusty legend.This is definitely one of those cases where--because there are only six tunes--the listener is left wanting more. - LMNOP.com Sheep in Wolf's Clothing listed as 9 in the top 30 Chicago releases of 2008 - WLUW's Radio One Chicago Sheep in Wolf's Clothing listed in top 8 Chicago releases of 2008 - Chicagoist.com “Sheep in Wolf's Clothing” speaks to the heart of that sound and the heart of the city. As the weather turns brisk and the pace becomes manic, Inchworm asks you to slow down and look a little deeper." - Deli Magazine's December album of the Month! "Inchworm borrows inspiration from plenty of like-minded touchpoints - The Band, Neil Young, and Wilco all come to mind - the album feels more like pulling that one extra comfy sweater out of the closet for the first time each fall than overtly derivative." - Chicagoist.com "A gem indeed and really worth a good listen... You'll hear fantastic music that's an enduring culmination of blues, rock, folk, and pop - a blend in good measure that will keep you listening. " - NBC 5 Blog "With not a bum track in the mix, Inchworm has honed its craft here into a confident, timeless identity that should earn them fans of all ages." - Daily Herald "There's just an all around wholesome sound that Inchworm brings to the table - similar to The Band - endearing vocals and harmonies, quality musicianship and well written timeless songs." - bandweblogs.com reviewing Sheep in Wolf's Clothing "...sophisticated pop a la Ray Davies. It swings organic...with nary a bum note on the record." - Richard Milne , 93.1fm WXRT “We love their music, we feel that people need to know about this band, and also – each song that we’re going to play is different.” - Bandweblogs.com podcast
“Inchworm has a sexy, Stones-y swagger with slightly unsettling undercurrents that ask us to imagine Van Morrison on a steroids binge, fronting the Animals.” – Jedd Beaudoin, F5 Wichita

Sounds Like: Inchworm's third release, Sheep in Wolf’s Clothing, was written and recorded by Inchworm in the places that inspire them most – their homes, hangouts, and the habitat they call Chicago. Creating a mood is as important as crafting a melody to Inchworm - soaring harmonies and atmospheric tones color songs like Simple Days Without Money and Learn to Grift, while Green House Grown saunters along like a Tom Waits melody with a Bourbon Street hangover. In just six songs, the band proves that the ability to translate one’s ideas from the rehearsal space to tape is a skill that’s all too often overlooked in today’s world of pricey studios and sound-altering producers. When a band can express itself as intimately and completely as Inchworm has on Sheep in Wolf’s Clothing, the result is a cohesive, translatable, and memorable musical statement.
