Los Angeles-based alternative post-rock band, Convey, released their brand new single “Inside Out” on November 16th. This is the second track off the band’s debut LP on Revival Recordings following “Terror” which was released in October. Convey also released an accompanying stream video for the single which premiered with The Noise.
The themes behind “Inside Out” are something that everyone that listens can relate to. The track’s funky rock guitars rifts and upbeat feel are in direct contrast to the main concept of the song which is about dependency on someone or something that gives you answers in times of darkness, and the feeling of loss when those answers aren’t there. When discussing the ideas behind the single, frontman Ben Cohen said, “This song is mostly about displacement, and how leaving everything that you are familiar with behind affects you and the people around you. The songwriting reflects feelings of personal sacrifice for the sake of freedom, something most people and especially artists can relate with in some way.” Discussing the song musically, bassist Luke Dennis states, “Coupled with producer Jim Kaufman’s studio wizardry, Inside Out conjures up Houses of the Holy and Physical Graffiti era Led Zeppelin. Musically we were trying to explore a funkier vibe with laced with a more psychedelic dynamic while keeping the heavy swagger we like central to our sound.”
“If you like the sound of bands like At The Drive In, I’m gonna play Convey for you.” – Kat Corbett, KROQ

Convey pride themselves on putting their own spin on rock music that feels familiar but also looks toward the future of the genre. Having self-released an EP in the Fall of 2016 and their viral video hit “Speed Dial”, Convey has remained largely hidden for the past year, incubating ideas, fleshing them out, and not settling until the grooves cut as deep as the vocals soar. Producer Jim Kaufman (Atlas Genius, Night Riots, Anti-Flag) has helped graft their appreciation for legendary acts like Led Zeppelin and Tool to a living love of Queens of the Stone Age and Circa Survive which has yielded their debut LP City of Skin and Bone set to be released on Revival Recordings in early 2019.
Fans can purchase “Inside Out” on iTunes or stream the single on all digital platforms now!
