Mateus Freitas: Some pop punk bands use numbers on their names, like blink-182 and Sum 41. There was this crisis back in 1929. So, the name Inner 29 kinda means "Inner Crisis," that is, the songs from Inner 29 mostly talk about inner problems and situations. We just thought it sounded cool and we went with it.

Mateus: Alexandre and I have played in a youth group worship band for years. After that, I moved to another church, and there I met Anderson, and we started playing worship together. So when the band started, we all had some musical experience already.

Mateus: The first Inner 29 song was most likely "Falling Apart." It was 2016, and I was practicing guitar using a pop punk backing track that I found on YouTube. The main melody for the song came from that. The lyrics were changed more than any other song on the EP. However, the first line of the chorus is still from the original version: "Is this falling in love or falling apart?"

Mateus: We don't live in a big city, but there's a scene here. It's mainly composed of punk rock bands, and there are very few venues. We just played our first gig on June 28, and the feedback we got was positive. Bands with original songs aren't always well received by the venues; they'd rather show cover bands. Even so, it seems like the punk rock scene in our hometown is slowly growing.

Mateus: I think "Sleep Well Tonight." Alexandre, Anderson, and I consider it to be our favorite. I personally like the lyrics a lot. I hope it may be uplifting to whoever listens to it.

Mateus: That's a tough one. If we ever have a chance to play in the U.S., we'd love to play with Light the Way. It's an Indie Vision Music pop punk band that I just LOVE. However, some of the bands that I dream of playing with are Emery and Relient K.

Mateus: Yes, we do. Some were written before we started recording Now and Again, Here, and just didn't make it into the EP, and some are completely new. We're still figuring out where we want to be musically.
