There are 3 members of the group: Dave McPherson who plays vocals and guitar, Joe Morgan who plays bass and backing vocal, Simon Taylor who plays the drums. The Group formed in 1996 as "Drowned" and played several local venues, getting their first interviews and airplay on Brentwood-based station Phoenix FM. They signed with MFN in 2001 and changed their name to "InMe" to avoid confusion with the American Christian rock group of the same name.

Their musical style of simple riffs combined with angst-ridden lyrical material has led many to dub them as 'Nu-Metal', although since they emerged onto the screens of Kerrang! TV shortly after the popularity of this fad had waned and the term had ceased to be applied so widely, the most accurate label for InMe's music would probably be simply 'Hard Rock'.

InMe's first single, "UnderDose", was released in 2002 and entered the UK charts at number 66. This was followed by the singles "Firefly" and "Crushed Like Fruit", which reached number 25 in the UK charts. Their debut album, Overgrown Eden was released in January 2003 and entered the UK album charts at number 15.
