The Cogs are from New York City and are made up of five diverse individuals who together make some of the best noises i've ever heard. They had a couple of releases on labels in the states in the mid to late 90's and then we received a demo of 13 songs, we loved it and soon after Viva! was released. Sounding like a cross between The Muffs and The Pixies they really are worth checking out.
