Inchworm, a band originally based in Hamilton NZ, more successful indie rock bands in the mid to late nineties. The band formed in 1993 when drummer Rob Talsma (ex-Dream Mary) joined with Spatula Death's Justin Harris (guitar) and Scott Brodie (bass). The band shared vocal and song-writing duties.

Inchworm burst onto the scene, winning the 1993 Waikato Rock Awards. They turned down the five year deal they won with Hark Records, choosing instead to release recordings independently on their own Dedear label. Their debut EP, "Looper", was released in 1994. The band then contributed the track "1987" to "The Fridge" compilation in 1995. The album "Shiny" was recorded between February 1995 and February 1996, and included re-recorded versions of two of the tracks on Looper (Come out, Come out, wherever you are and It means a lot to me). It was released on May 10, 1996, with a release party at The Exchange supported by Scribbler and Love and Violence. The band’s second album (and final release) was "You Are Only Here", released in 1997. You get to me, from this album, was included on the Green Eggs and Hamilton compilation.
