Ultraspank was an American nu metal band from Santa Barbara, California.
The band was formed soon after the breakup of the band Indica, which contained three of the five original Ultraspank members; Tyler Clark, Dan Ogden, and Pete Murray,[6] not to be confused with Australian singer Pete Murray.
[6] They originally formed the band as "Spank", but for legal reasons they were forced to change it.
[8] After the heavy touring in support of their first album, the band returned to the studio for their followup Progress.

[9] Murray claims that the recording sessions were so intense, that there were many times where he or Godfrey would need to leave for a break, and that the album can still be hard for them to listen to on an emotional level.
After the break up, Murray took some time away from music, while Godfrey joined downthesun and Motograter for a short period.
