Since his 2007 debut, Welcome to the Danger Show, Marc M Cogman has built a deep catalog of critically acclaimed albums ranging from indie-rock to Americana. Born in Washington DC and raised along the northeast coast, he fronted rock bands in Boston and Los Angeles before beginning his solo career. Sometimes alone with an acoustic guitar or piano, sometimes backed by his long-time band, The Dead Messengers, his music has been heard in motion pictures and on stages across America and the world.

Over the years, Cogman has collaborated with a bevy of world-class musicians, producers, and mixers in some of America’s greatest recording studios to release seven full-length albums. A throwback to an era when the LP was king, Cogman crafts each group of songs to be a cohesive whole, with musical and lyrical themes that make each a unique statement and a snapshot of that moment in time. In the tradition of those who made album-oriented rock music, each record is pressed on vinyl in addition to being released digitally.

In September 2022, Cogman and his band traveled to Sonic Ranch in Tornillo, Texas to track his eighth full length, Gateway Drugs. On the heavier, punk rock side of Cogman’s oeuvre, this album features members of the Dead Messengers as well as new additions on guitar and drums. Meanwhile, Grammy Award winner J.D. Andrew, a repeat collaborator, is also back to mix the record.

Gateway Drugs arrives September 8, 2023 from Last 3 Punks records on limited edition vinyl and in digital retailers everywhere.
