“It’s full of surprises, anything can happen…”
From Release: Emerging in the late 90s, Cog‘s enduring legacy on the heavy music landscape has traversed decades, global touring and a jubilant reunion back in 2016. Via their early EPs, 2000’s Pseudo and part one and part two of 2002’s Just Visiting, the behemoth reputation of the Sydney-hailing trio would firmly cement in 2005 in the form of their debut full-length The New Normal. From here, Cog took the world by storm, relentlessly touring Australia, embarking on overseas runs, igniting stages at Big Day Out, Falls Festival and Homebake, alongside adding a stellar second album release to their repertoire in the form of the certified Gold 2008 opus Sharing Space.
Cog are now turning their gazes to a brand new year; and 2024 is one which will also include an east coast Australian tour to celebrate the long-awaited release of both The New Normal and Sharing Space on vinyl for the first time.
We caught up with Lucius to discuss the return of Cog, the Vinyl Tour, the releases of The New Normal and Sharing Space on vinyl, new music, and so much more…
