Ulysses is an American indie rock band formed by Robert Schneider along with John Ferguson and Ben Fulton in early 2003. Robert Beatty joined later that year. They released their first album, 010, on October 26, 2004, through Eenie Meenie Records. PopMatters noted about it, "010 can be read as Schneider’s break-up record, as it’s lyrically more serious and self-loathing than anything in the Apples’ catalog." The album was released in mono.
