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 did not translate their local appeal into national fame and disbanded in 1994. Member Greg LoPiccolo later stated that "When Warner Bros didn’t pick up our option for the third album; that was kind of a momentum-killer."

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 subsequently become founding members of Guitar Hero developer Harmonix.

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