'''Concussion Ensemble''' were an American post-rock group formed in Boston, Massachusetts, in 1992. It consisted of three drummers, one percussionist (playing bedpan, horseshoe, pipes and other found objects), two guitarists and a bass player. Their music was completely instrumental and placed a strong emphasis on rhythm.<ref name="pitrep">{{cite web |first=Joe |last=Bonni |url=http://dersch.tripod.com/concussion_index.html |title=Concussion Ensemble |publisher=The Pit Report |date=1993 |accessdate=April 25, 2013}}</ref> The ensemble was short lived, only releasing a single and one full-length album.
