Enter the Chamber

While there is no shortage of bands trying to bring back the music of the ’80s, there sure aren’t too many bringing back the music of the ’90s. The Melbourne, Australia-based quartet Cicadastone puts their own stamp on the Grunge Rock movement they grew up with. Cicadastone, led by brothers Mat and Mark Robbins, released their debut album Chance Collide in 2016. After a lineup change and Covid lockdown delays, the group is ready to release their follow-up album Cold Chamber. I caught up with co-vocalist/guitarist Mat Robins to find out all about it.
