| Today, Los Angeles-based rock powerhouse grandson (aka Jordan Benjamin) announces his North American headlining INERTIA tour in support of his upcoming third album INERTIA out September 5 via his own XX Records in partnership with Create Music. This tour marks grandson’s biggest headlining shows to date across the United States and Canada with a kickoff in San Francisco at The Fillmore on October 21. It includes stops in Seattle on October 25 at ShowBox SoDo, Chicago’s Riviera Theater on November 1st, Los Angeles’ The Bellwether on November 19, Brooklyn’s Warsaw on November 17, Toronto’s Phoenix Concert Theatre on December 12, and will wrap in Montreal on December 13 at MTelus. Artist presale will begin June 17 at 10AM local time, and the general on sale will be Friday, June 20 at 10AM local time. For tickets and more information, please visit https://grandsonmusic.com/. Of his headlining tour, grandson says, “This next chapter of grandson was built by and for the sweat of the crowd, the roar of our voice becoming one, the color of my bruise leaving the pit – defiant, proud, cathartic and messy. INERTIA is the best version of grandson – a lifetime in the making and it’s gonna be f**king sick just like you’re gonna feel a sickness in your stomach watching videos later knowing you could have been there.” grandson recently took over Los Angeles’ El Cid with a sold-out, blistering performance for a few lucky fans. 100% of the proceeds from this show benefited the Los Angeles LGBT Center, an organization that works to build a world where LGBT identifying people thrive as healthy, equal, and complete members of society.

On May 30th, grandson released the sharp and poignant first single off INERTIA, “BRAINROT”, attacking apathy and societal conformity in the digital age. The track is his first new music since writing the theme song for the film Venom, and it is his first solo offering in over two years. Produced by Mike Crossey (The Killers, The 1975, 21 Pilots, YUNGBLUD), “BRAINROT” exemplifies an empowering next step for grandson as an artist and songwriter, operating on his own terms and speaking truth to power. “BRAINROT” has accumulated 4 million views and counting across socials since grandson first started teasing it in May.

| Already an artist admired for both his searing social commentary (see the breakthrough hit ‘Blood // Water’) and heart-breaking true life stories (the fan memorial ‘Heather’), grandson is going darker, harder and more uncompromising than ever before as he prepares to release his third full-length album INERTIA. INERTIA is the sound of grandson becoming lean and ferocious. The overarching theme is a clamour for what he calls a “growing need for class solidarity that can be achieved by seeing that across any political spectrum, people stand to benefit from the consolidation of power in the hands of the many against the few.” That concept is set to music which pumps the heart before engaging the mind: colossal heavyweight riffs, raging, blood-vessel busting raps, soaring hooks, and the philosophy that music that fights for social justice should sound like a rallying cry. grandson’s ambition for INERTIA was to pack it full of songs that demanded a place on future setlists. As such, it’s an album that grabs you by the throat and doesn’t let go, defined by full-throttle blasters, punchy rap-rock grooves, and more. INERTIA is a different path to walk that will ignite mosh pits while provoking further examination of its themes, and one in which American politics is the context to connect with a broader, progressive international audience. “So many people are fighting for different things,” he concludes. “I believe that finding connection with one another, through music or otherwise, and making collective demands for a brighter, better future, can lead us to a more holistic way of living, thinking, and consuming. It all starts with a cathartic release of energy. Meet you in the pit. |
