I don’t know anything about Cognos as a band and they don’t tell us anything, which is fine, but they do give a clue as to their style of music, which they state is a fusion of extreme metal, new… Continue Reading →
2021 has not been kind to Australia’s music scene. Roving lockdowns and tighter measures implemented for public safety have put a halt on plenty of live events across the country, but that hasn’t put the brakes on the creation of… Continue Reading →
