Convey is an American rock band from Los Angeles, California. Formed in 2016, they are fronted by Ben Cohen and feature Jahan Rajabi (guitar), Cory Massing (drums) and Luke Dennis (bass).
Convey quickly made a name for themselves in the Los Angeles music scene with their 2016 debut Speed Dial EP which featured the eponymous song “Speed Dial”. The band caught the ear of renowned music attorney Eric German who brought in producer Jim Kaufman to produce their debut LP. Jim is the guitar player and founding member of the industrial alt metal indie band, Opiate for the Masses, and has produced albums for Anti-Flag, Beware of Darkness, Danny Worsnop (Asking Alexandria) and Night Riots.
