The Ingredients sound is one that is not easily defined. The term "indie rock" gets thrown around quite a bit, but it doesn't really do the band justice. Drawing on a vast array of influences and inspirations, Ingredients has created a sound that is both eclectic and unique, yet very accessible. In the words of Serena Markstrom of the Register Guard, "This is what indie pop should be." Their latest self-produced release, "Bears Driving Trains," with cover art by famous comic book artist Mike Allred (Madman, Chasing Amy), was received with both critical and popular acclaim. Adrienne Vandervalk of Eugene Weekly writes, "Ingredients reminds you of all the bands you like, but not any one in particular." Eugene Weekly readers agree, voting Ingredients "Best Local Rock Band" in their Best of Eugene awards for 2006.
