The Erickson brothers have lived and breathed rock & roll since a very early age. This trio of brothers, Dave (vocals/bass), Kyle (guitar/vocals), and Anders (drums), soon became Inward Eye and they now reminisce about their musical beginnings when they would “dance around in our underwear to the Rolling Stones’ Get Yer Ya-Ya’s Out!, reveals the eldest band-mate Dave.

These early musical experiences would come to heavily influence the high-voltage, rebellious rock of their debut self-titled EP. Hailing from Winnipeg, the siblings began making music together in 1997, but it wasn't until 2003 that they started earning a reputation for themselves on the Canadian music scene. After amassing a strong local following - without ever recording a note in a studio, - major labels came knocking. In the summer of 2005 the band spent a week in New York City showing off their live skills and managed to impressed producers from J Records. Inward Eye quit their grocery store jobs back home and began the exciting (and sometimes arduous) process of writing songs for their first real recording.

They have since earned comparison to a number of potent high-energy rock bands including: the Clash, the Jam, and the Who. Inward Eye was honoured with the opportunity to open for the Who during their 2006 tour of Canada.

Inward Eye most recently performed at the 2010 Winter Olympic Games and they in April, represented Canada in Hong Kong, at the Asia Pacific Music Forum, as part of the Canadian Mission to Music Matters. Their latest full-length album, Throwing Bricks Instead of Kisses was released in the fall of 2009 and the trio of brothers gathers an ever-increasing fan base everywhere they play. Performing on the Warped Tour and Lollapalooza festival, Inward Eye brings back spontaneity to rock shows. Their music is stocked with powerful anthems that crackle with bratty energy and recall the swinging riffs, shouted chants, and raw-nerve rock of their favorite bands.
