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]

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]
