Nashville’s anti-establishment rock artist, Justin and The Cosmics, released their “anti-debut” album, Cool Dead, on August 18th, 2023 with a subsequent release, Dead Cool, consisting of 4 track demos and B-Side recordings of the original album.
Justin and The Cosmics’ music expands across decades, from Roy Orbison to Iggy Pop, Nirvana, and The Strokes. Like Leonard Cohen and Kurt Cobain had a baby. Collins’ songwriting is bigger than the confines of any genre. Collins is a fixture on the Nashville underground scene and has produced records for Deer Tick, Diamond Rugs, Nikki Lane, T. Hardy Morris, Middle Brother, and many others. If he is not self-producing, Pat Sansone, of Wilco, steps up to the plate. He’s been on David Letterman, and Elvis Costello is a fan. Currently on tour with Deer Tick.
