Ingle began his career very early on by first taking piano lessons, and then later on picking up the guitar and learning from the late esteemed Marvin Russell in Maryville, TN. His early influences ranged from hard rock acts such as Guns N' Roses and Motley Crue to the mainstream pop of Michael Jackson and the wily wisdom of Waylon Jennings. These influences are readily apparent in both his formative years as well as later on in collaborative contexts. He continued to develop his own style as well as his multi-instrumental skills until the pivotal year of 1992, when he joined forces with like-minded singer and songwriter Wally Miles.
The duo's project, Miles/Ingle, proved to be the creative outlet that brought out the best in both artists. The 1990's and early 2000's showcased an explosion of eclectic and influential output that saw Miles/Ingle become an established local act who saw no boundaries and pushed themselves harder with every new recording, taking risks that seem outlandish even today. It was also during this time that Miles and Ingle co-founded Entrails, a pioneering death metal band that released several acclaimed records in the mid-90's. The creative boom of this time period, as incredible as it was, proved to merely be the breeding ground for the world-wide attention that was to come.
1999 saw Ingle also branching off further into the world of death metal with the band Goropsy. The group never saw live action but released several albums that allowed Ingle to refine his technical rhythm skills beneath the guttural howling of vocalist Volthrax and madcap drummer Maddigan Spores.
2005 was a milestone year for Ingle. Miles/Ingle was still going strong with the release of their latest effort, "Topless," and Ingle relocated back to his hometown of Maryville after a 4-year tenure in Memphis. It was at this time that Miles and Ingle joined forces with Miles' cousin, Micheal "Gunnz" Hurst, to form the band Dirty Gunnz. Next to Miles/Ingle, this would be Ingle's longest-running project. Initially featuring Miles, Ingle, Hurst, Terry Householder, and Jed Cochran (who tragically passed away in 2009), the line-up eventually solidified to feature guitarist Chris Anderson, bassist William Abner, and drummer Mark Barnhart. The group gigged extensively for the next 15 years, playing with such international recording artists as L.A. Guns and Green Jelly. They released three albums during this time, 2008's "Down N' Dirty," 2014's "Glamouflage" EP, and 2019's "Once And For All." The Covid-19 pandemic of 2020 and forces outside the band's control brought an end to the mayhem. Aside from 2008's re-imagined version of the band's classic "Hostages" and the prophetic 2015 single "You're A Libra, Aren't You?," Miles/Ingle remained on hiatus for much of the next decade.
In 2019, the cosmic forces aligned, and Miles/Ingle triumphantly signaled a new beginning with their blistering opus, "Face The Faceless Face: The Original Motion Picture Soundtrack." The world-wide release of the album showcased not only the band's metal mastery, but also ventured into the Euro-Appalachian territory that would become the duo's signature sound. A video for the track "Booze City Blues" quickly went viral, and several singles from the record grew the band's audience exponentially. 2020 saw the release of "Age Zero: The ZerOage," which further embellished upon their burgeoning synthwave and pop sensibilities. Released in 2021, "For The Sake Of The Night" became Miles/Ingle's most popular release to date, spawning the hits "The Runaway Blonde" and "Lemon Candy." Miles/Ingle released the critically-acclaimed EP "Strangewinds" in late 2021, which was seen as a departure from the group's recent sounds in favor of a subdued, acoustical approach. The EP has found world-wide recognition thanks in part to the title track, which has become a rallying cry in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict and a beacon of hope for displaced citizens everywhere. Eager to capitalize on the success of "Strangewinds," December 26, 2022, found Miles/Ingle releasing "Stimulator," their most lavish and compelling collection of material to date. Featuring such singles as “The Star Machine” and “Funeral Tears,” “Stimulator” showcases a whole new side of the veteran duo, with even more exciting releases and content promised for 2023.
After years as a guitarist and songwriter for such diverse acts, Ingle kept writing and recording a myriad of solo material, some of which did eventually make its way into collaborative efforts. 2022 finds Ingle taking a break between projects to release his first full major solo LP, "Revel In Pestilence." Written, performed, and recorded by Ingle mostly in the final months of 2021, the album exhibits a wide array of sounds and influences exploring such themes as loss, aging, and mortality.
Proceeded by the single "Sands Of Time," which sets the tone for the record with a desperate call for redemption, "Revel In Pestilence" was released worldwide on April 22, 2022, followed by the singles, "Disremember," "Do You See?" "Other Worlds," and the latest, "A Pathological Peace...," unleashed on December 1, 2022.
2024 will feature a collection of EP's showcasing unreleased songs and demos from past years. “Volume 1: This One's For Dixie” is a 5 song set of country tunes recorded mostly in 2016. “Volume 2: Parallels” is Ingle's take on some unexpected piano covers stemming from the Covid quarantine in 2020. And the forthcoming “Volume 3: Gone Native” highlights both demos and finished unreleased singles written and recorded over the past 15 years. With at least two more volumes in the works, fans can expect more surprises from the vault before Ingle's next album of new material arrives in 2025.
