Inert – Inert — Our Pride, 2008

Inert is an ex-members of band from Los Angeles. This 7" is the band's debut offering and boasts six tracks of metallic, groove-laden hardcore. Musically this reminds me of No Warning and Cold World

but not as good, and I don't even like either of those bands. If that's what you're into, then you'll probably enjoy what these guys have

or should I say

had to offer... as apparently this band is on hiatus now. Bottom-line, Inert is nothing special, but it's not horrible.

Red Scare Industries (2026)

The band released just one album, that I discovered at least 10years after its release, but seemingly disappeared -- only to resurface after a 2022 reissue … Read more
