Inept has posted a new song titled "The Call" from their upcoming EP, The Call (No More Crying), on their MySpace page. The band will play a release show on February 4th at the Metro in Chicago with The Waiting Game, The Alpha Couple, The Translation, and Midsummerderby as support.

If you haven't heard them before go buy their record controversy loves company. So yea please go see theAudition on their upcoming tour with Plain White Tees and Spitalfield.
