Transience

"This band has a unique intensity to them, and a fair percentage of that emanates from the big-lunged voice and magnetic presence of frontman Robert Cuzens."

"The one and only slight disappointment of their set is the absence of this scribe's favourite track by The Contortionist: 'Relapse'."

"The overarching vibe is that of a pumping, over-the-top, powerhouse rock show that gets the crowd howling in unison with the band and thrusting their fists skyward."

"The love in the room this night is palpable, and Orsome Welles' Melbourne launch is nothing short of a triumph."
