INTERVIEW: A conversation with California rock band Inertia

1. You recently released your debut LP “The Process”. What was the process like creating the album? Is that where the title comes from? Creating this album was a full catharsis . We set out from the beginning to write a relatable rock album that identifies with the struggles of growing up and the process of healing and understanding your surroundings . Writing this record was part of our healing process , especially mine when I was writing the lyrics and piano for the record .
   
2. If you could pick only one track that you’d want listeners to not skip over, which would it be? Which carries the most meaning to the band collectively? Face of Defeat pt. 1 or The Run . Those are two heartfelt songs that embody the message of the entire concept album . The band as a whole loves the song The Run .
   
3. Do you have any upcoming touring plans to promote the album? We're pushing to tour as soon as September . We'll be posting a go fund me for some major projects we'd like to release in the near future including a world tour .
   
4. What’s the band’s next move now that “The Process” is out? Spread the message of positivity through rock music , build a community , tour the world starting out with our Country the United States.
   
5. Many bands feel like they are in a constant mode of creation. Are you constantly creating? Oh yes , on the 31st I release a full cover of Sanctuary ( from the kingdom hearts franchise ) and in this video I wanted to show off so I played , recorded and tracked each instrument myself . In addition to that , this weekend we are filming a full band music video of our song “ The Heartless & The Nobody .
   
6. Most artists release a string of singles or an EP before putting out a full EP. What made you decide to release an LP over an EP? The fact that most bands do that is exactly why we didn't . I hate when I see another ep or single from a no name band . Nothing screams “ I'm trying but I'm not gonna try my hardest “ then another cliche ep they no one cares about . Too long have I and we gone with mediocre ep’s and albums with a few singles and filler on it . We set out to write a record where you wouldn't want to skip any songs . We wanted to provide diversity and yet keep a consistent sound . We didn't want to release another ep like everyone else . We wanted to produce the album where if you had to choose one album to take with you , you'd choose this one .
   
7. Is there anything you’d like your fans to know about Inertia? Get to know us , we wrote this album just for you . Grow up with us . See ya later Space Cowboys ( Cowboy Bepop Reference )
   

 
Thank you for your time!
