The Pillbugs were an American power pop and psychedelic pop group that emerged on the indie music scene in the late 1990s.
Based in Toledo, Ohio, the band consisted of Mark Mikel (vocals/guitar/keyboards), David Murnen (vocals/percussion), Mark Kelley (vocals/bass), Scott Tabner (guitar), Dan Chalmers (drums/vocals). They released 5 albums and initially billed themselves as "the world's most psychedelic band." Of this statement Mikel said, "I don't know if we are or not. We thought so when we first formed. It was just something to draw attention. It probably isn't completely true."
The Pillbugs disbanded in 2008 following Mark Kelley's death from lung cancer.
