Pulkas was an English nu metal band from London, United Kingdom which later changed its name to I:AM:I. Pulkas were formed in 1995 by Luke Lloyd (vocals), Martin Bourne (guitar)m Jules McBride (bass) and Rob Lewis (drums) after having met on the London Underground.
[2] The band released a demo tape[3] containing the songs Control and This Is It, which would later appear on their debut album Greed.
[3] After the release of Greed, Pulkas decided that they would prefer to be under a larger record label.
[4] However, this went in violation of the contract signed with Earache, which had the band promising the label at least three more studio albums.
Fellow English band earthtone9 have cited Pulkas as a major influence, comparing them to Killing Joke.
