While their latest record Sharing Space is working hard for them in Europe and the UK, gaining rave reviews from music press and fans alike, the Cog boys have been busily putting the finishing touches on their national Between Oceans tour upcoming in May and June 2009.
Cog's powerful live shows have been wowing fans for the past few years, earning them spots on the country's biggest festivals, including the recent Big Day Out Tour, and leaving a trail of sold out venues in their wake. The Between Oceans tour will be the band's last round before they take time out to pull together material for their third LP.
Cog are thrilled to announce Manchester's kings of post-metal, Oceansize will make their maiden voyage to Australia to join them for this run.
When Oceansize christened themselves back at the start of the third millennium, they didn't just pick a name, they set themselves a challenge. Their mission statement was to make the biggest music possible, adventures on the high seas of future-rock giganticism that could never, ever stop.
The band's third LP, Frames glows with bone-crushing experimentation; mixing ultimate warrior wrestling music with beautiful classical flourishes. Oceansize always weave magic out of unfamiliar time signatures, on their latest LP, they have so many of them going on at the same time that they say the album is, at times, "the sound of a band ignoring itself". Evidenced on the lurching "Savant", the ravenous "Only Twin" and the climactic "The Frame", every single player goes on their own journey, making up a deeply intricate whole.
Melbourne three piece Calling All Cars will join Cog and Oceansize to open. One of Triple J's Next Crop Artists, they will use the Cog tour to release "Disconnect", the first single off their debut album due later in 2009.

sorry guise but cog bore me
| | |
Oceansize would surely not bore you.
| | |
I heard the first cd and a half of Oceansize, I used to like them but they just didn't have enough to keep me interested, what with so many other bands in the genre trying to push respective limits...perhaps I should check out their most recent tho
| | |
I love Oceansize but they're very imperfect, so if you didn't like what you've heard so far you probably won't like Frames much either. Cog kinda sucks though.
| | |
Oceansize would surely not bore you.
i have yet to listen to them, but i've heard they're kinda like dredg (El Cielo album) so yeah i would enjoy them
| | |
Dredg suck, Oceansize don't.
| | |
Oceansize were cool once way back when
| | |
Dredg suck
have you heard El Cielo?
| | |
I own it and I regret ever investing in it.
| | |
you don't like music
| | |
yea wiz, for mr atmosphere u prob shud listen again...dredg suck now, cog is pretty bad, oceansize from what i heard was okay but didnt make me persue...
| | |
Oceansize take at least a few listens to get into, if anyone is at all interested in Oceansize they have a huge "platter" to choose from, each of their 3 LP's are unique in their own way
| | |
Oceansize have two songs that I love a lot, the rest is meh.
| | |
Cog is bad now. Their first album was good.
| | |
Wrong! Cog is improving with each release.
| | |
i liked sharing space more than new normal
i thought new normal was average at best
| | |
