Pseudoubt is an alternative hip-hop/indie-rock/electronic fusion group based out of Minneapolis, MN. The duo consists of lead-vocalist Artifex, and producer Adriatic.[1] From 2013 until early 2016, the group also featured guitarist Riley Iris as a member.

In 2013, Pseudoubt released their debut single "Man's Best Friend" from their debut LP Greyscale.[2]

In 2014, Pseudoubt released their debut album Greyscale.[3]

In 2015, Pseudoubt released their second album Where Nothing Grows, featuring the likes of Myka 9 (of Freestyle Fellowship, Kristoff Krane, Onry Ozzborn (of Grayskul and Dark Time Sunshine), and other local Minneapolis musicians and emcees. Following the release of the album, Pseudoubt toured the midwest, in an expanded live band format, along with fellow Minnesotan fusion-rock band Treading North. Their lead single "Opaque" peaked at #3 on Radio K's top 7 hit-list.[4][5][6]

In 2016, co-founding member and guitarist Riley Iris left the group to pursue other endeavors, in and out of music, shortly after the single "No Peripherals" was released via the group's Soundcloud and Bandcamp. The song was released in promotion of their Makeshift Mirages Winter Tour of the Midwest which took place in January 2016. The band has since split according to social media posts, citing their final leg of the tour to be concluding their run as a recording band. [7]
