Inspired & the sleep is the Los Angeles-via-San Diego based musical project of songwriter/producer Max Greenhalgh and multi-instrumentalist Bryce Outcault. With a revolving lineup of additional players, Greenhalgh and Outcault produce pop arrangements that are at once warmly familiar and sweetly off-kilter. Incorporating traditional indie-rock instrumentation with various electronic elements and vinyl sampling, the pop-rock outfit perpetually reinvents their sound while staying true to their groove-oriented backbone. Greenhalgh's gentle crooning on matters of intimacy, introspection and love - both lost and found - solidifies the project's pop ethos over an ever-shifting sonic backdrop.


The project has been no stranger to the blogosphere, and has been featured on such sites as like SPIN, Noisey, Pigeons & Planes Hilly Dilly etc. The live band has recently opened for various national touring acts such as Switchfoot, Sure Sure, Colony House, The Dodos, Mating Ritual, SALES, Moon Taxi, Cymbals Eat Guitars, etc. The band has toured nationally and played tons of SoCal venues including Belly Up Tavern, The Casbah, The Hi Hat, The Satellite, House Of Blues.
