Crossfire Hurricane pour out a fizzy new single
COBDEN’S finest, Crossfire Hurricane, are back with a new track. Too Much Soda Pop was premiered on Aussie music site Tonedeaf this week and is a dirty blues-rock track that “takes its influences from early Kings Of Leon and tells the tale of a heartbroken man who drinks himself to death due to a vicious woman”, according to the band. The Cobden trio (now based in Melbourne) is working on a new EP but will launch the single at Melbourne’s Bar Open on September 29 and The Loft in Warrnambool on October 7.
