� Welcome to the Rawrrzone! �
In this episode, Katie Kay sits down with Springfield, Missouri hard rock band Cognition to discuss their powerful debut releases, their journey into the rock scene, and the stories behind their music.
Fronted by the dynamic JenX, Cognition combines heavy riffs, haunting melodies, aggressive rhythms, and emotional storytelling to create a sound that is both modern and deeply authentic. The band released their debut single "The Game" in early 2026, quickly making an impression with listeners through its intense energy and atmospheric sound. They followed it with "The Washed," a deeply personal healing anthem inspired by the devastating impact of the fentanyl epidemic.
During this interview, we discuss:
� JenX's return to music after a 20-year hiatus
� Transitioning from a country music upbringing to the world of rock and metal
� The creation of "The Game"
� The powerful message behind "The Washed"
� Building a female-fronted rock band in today's music industry
� The future of Cognition and what's coming next
