The full lineup of Molarbear join the show for a loud, loose, and brutally honest deep dive into their upcoming EP Cognitive Dissident — out March 7th.
Recorded at Manor Park Studio with Neal Calderwood, Cognitive Dissident sees the band sharpening their identity — bigger riffs, darker atmosphere, and passages that feel like they’re about to collapse under their own weight.
And yes… we go track-by-track through the entire EP.
We cover:
• Writing Under Pressure
• Studio Stories
• The EP Title Meaning
• Tone & Gear Talk
• Riffs vs Dynamics
• What Comes Next?
