Murray State alumni have taken their nu metalcore band, Cohen, to the next level after signing with Modern Empire record label two weeks ago.
With Modern Empire, band member Trever Williams and former Murray State students Nick Erickson, Zachary Orr, Gage Girten and Kenton Smith are set to release a new EP “Suffer” on Friday, Nov 20.
The band, who has had five members for about a year and a half, began much smaller in 2015. Primary vocalist Nick Erickson began attending Murray State in 2014, majoring in journalism and minoring in English. Erickson said Murray State taught life skills that would help him later with his music career.
