Cog will preview Walk The Line exclusively on their YouTube channel 12 September before the official release, giving fans early access to their first single since Drawn Together dropped six years ago. The new track showcases the band’s signature oscillating guitars, driving rhythms and Flynn Gower’s commanding vocals that have defined their sound since the late 90s.

The tour kicks off in Cairns before hitting Townsville, Mackay, Newcastle, Caloundra, Adelaide and wrapping up in Byron Bay. Cog will also join the Bird’s Robe 15th Birthday celebrations in Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney, adding extra momentum to what’s shaping up as a massive return to form.

This marks another chapter for the band who fought a 15-year battle to regain rights to their music, finally achieving vinyl releases for classics like The New Normal and the gold-certified Sharing Space. Their 2024 comeback tour sold out most venues, proving their fanbase remains as devoted as ever across multiple generations of Australian rock fans.
