"There's a time when the people know / Change it's gotta happenThey've been walking the line / Losing their minds / Waiting for the right time / Holding on"With decades in their wake spanning chart successes, touring with icons of the scene and growing an evergreenfanbase, Sydney-hailing rock trio Cog's momentum has never waned, withstanding industry shifts, morphingtechnology, and a hiatus all without ever losing their trademark vigour.Recently ticking off a largely sold out and extensive Australian tour in 2024, along with releasing some of theirmaterial for the first time ever on vinyl, it's in 2025 that the trio ascend into a brand new chapter, unveiling theirfirst new music since 2019 with a brand new single, Walk The Line, as well as some brand new headline showsfor November and December.Via Walk The Line, the group's first new song since the propulsive standalone track Drawn Together releasedsix years ago, Cog dazzle with buoyant soundscapes, oscillating guitars, driving drumwork, and fluid basslinesalongside the ever-commanding vocal stylings of Flynn Gower.An immediate Cog classic with its raw yet blissful dynamic shifts, Walk The Line finds the trio -- vocalist Flynn,bassist Luke Gower and drummer Lucius Borich -- in their most assured form to date, while also brandishingreal-world undertones as Cog reflect on the realities of life as a musician in 2025, as well as looking to what maycome next."Walk The Line expresses it all for us," shares Flynn. "Life for the three of us is fucking hard at the moment, thethree of us individually are struggling to just survive and keep our heads above water. When you look at thework that goes into a song like this alone, the cost and the general lack of return, it's all becoming almostimpossible for us.""Almost everyone I know is in the same boat," Flynn continues, "they're on struggle street, scratching theirheads and wondering how to survive. The microcosm of the music and arts industry in Australia has gottenespecially tough, and we're all feeling the effects of that.""As a band we are working on stuff, we're working towards other songs. But at this point in time we really don'tknow what the future holds, and we don't know if this will be the last song. And that's really what Walk The Lineis all about at its core."Emerging in the late 90s, Cog's enduring legacy on the heavy music landscape has traversed decades, globaltouring, and a jubilant reunion back in 2016. Via their early EPs, 2000's Pseudo, and part one and part two of2002's Just Visiting, the behemoth reputation of the Sydney-hailing trio would firmly cement in 2005 in theform of their debut full-length The New Normal. From here, Cog took the world by storm, relentlessly touringAustralia, embarking on overseas runs, igniting stages at Big Day Out, Falls Festival and Homebake, alongsideadding a stellar second album release to their repertoire in the form of the certified Gold 2008 opus SharingSpace.
