Tribe was an alternative rock band from Boston, Massachusetts which was active in the late 1980s and early 1990s. They released three albums, two on Slash Records/Warner Bros. Records, but failed to translate their local appeal into national fame^[1] and disbanded in 1994.

Terri and Eric Brosius and Greg LoPiccolo later joined video game developer Looking Glass Studios and did sound/voice/music work on various games. They would later become founding members of Guitar Hero developer Harmonix.^[2]

"Outside", a song from Here at the Home, was featured in the 2007 music video game Rock Band.
