Discography
Distant Land
Music Interview Magazine: “Check out the band’s debut album Distant Land, a seven-song collection released in December 2019. The title cut is interesting and alluring by way of a striking melody, expert musicianship and a compelling performance. No kidding. As far as indie projects go, the track “Distant Land” is one of the best. The syncopated rhythm alone is entrancing. Distant Land the album also exhibits punkish and even metal tendencies. “Woe To Me” is another great new song video on Facebook. For these reasons and more, Kozmik Landing is a recommended pick.” Paul Wolfle

ABOUT
The music of the 70's is considered by many to be the golden age of rock music. The genre of Classic Rock dominated the era, with outstanding musicianship and brilliantly crafted songs and lyrics. You could say that popular music has never really come close to the benchmark that was set in those days. The band Kozmik Landing seems to have come straight from that era, drawing on the influences from that time. Their high energy rock/blues riffs with the powerful and exciting lead vocals of singer/songwriter Vena Cartledge, make Kozmik Landing a must see band for any rock enthusiast.
Kozmik Landing are a Retro Classic Rock and Blues Band from Adelaide, South Australia. Their debut album, Distant Land, released on the 28th November 2019, was written and recorded 14 years ago by song writing duo and life partners, Robert and Vena Cartledge. In May of 2021, Kozmik Landing released their 2nd Album called Welcome to the Journey, which is a classic retro rock and blues musical adventure that you don’t want to miss. Their 3rd Album Wanderer was released on the 8th October 2022, and shows their uncanny ability to continue to write authentic classic rock that transports you back to the 70s.

What People Are Saying
“Better than a Red Bull or a triple espresso, there is something comforting and accessible about a rocked out song driven by drums, bass, guitar and vocals… There is no doubt Kozmik Landing has absorbed the influences of Led Zeppelin, Janis Joplin, Wolfmother, Alanis Morissette and others. Yet, the Adelaide, South Australia-based band has developed its own sonic impression… As a unit, the phrase well-oiled comes to mind. Paul Wolfle
