Cocksure is a project started in 2014 by Chris Connelly (Revolting Cocks, Ministry, Pigface, The Damage Manual) and Jason Novak (Acumen Nation, DJ? Acucrack, Iron Lung Corp) from Chicago, Illinois, United States. The project bridges the gap between Wax Trax! era industrial dance music and the future sounds of mass corruption.
They released their first EP entitled KKEP on CrackNation in January and the TKO Mindfuck single on Wax Trax! Records in June. The first live show was at the TKO Mindfuck single release show with GoFight, called 'the Return of Wax Trax!', on June 14 in Chicago, Illinois.
On August 12, 2014, they released their debut album TVMALSV on Metropolis. Cocksure then opened for Front 242 at the New York show on September 24 for 242's fall U.S. tour. The duo also performed at Cold Waves 3 Music Festival and Bimfest XIII.
Their sophomore album entitled Corporate Sting will be released August 21, 2015 on Metropolis Records.

Biography from cocksurenoise.com
"THE SOUND: huge air-craft hangar size mechanized rhythms and bone-crushing, limb-severing noises that stretch from 2014 all the way back to 1985, long, endurance testing, panic-attack hit songs that you can drive around at night to, sweating dry-ice and smoking your chemical-weapon blunts.
THE WORDS: shockingly infantile, irreverent & irrelevant, riot inciting, anger inducing, anti-social, unashamedly un-p.c. , paranoid, narcissistic bullshit, barked and howled by someone who you think would have learned his fucking lesson by now.
THE PERPS: COCKSURE-the bastard that once was “REVCO” deformed and dug up,
re-animated and re-branded by CHRIS CONNELLY and JASON NOVAK .”Unfinished bizness” mutters Chris under his breath with a chuckle, then politely folding his arms and crossing his legs he whispers softly: “We’ll show these pussy-ass motherfuckers how it’s really done” adding with a serene smile “we’ll tell these ageing dinosaur fuckwads where to stick their dicks”
THE CHARGES: car jacking, drug dealing, pyromania (adoration of), credit card fraud, brawling, shoplifting & petty theft, chronic serial infidelity, slutism, weapon smuggling, online porn addiction, drinking binges, coke binges, speed binges, binge binges, auto theft, porn skyping, messianic behavior, trans gender hookers (pathetic attempts to “engage” with) hookers (pathetic attempts to “engage” with), solvent abuse, and botched plastic surgery (laughing at the expense of).
THE OUTCRY: “these people are despicable, truly society’s day-old used q-tips, we thought we were DONE with this childish self obsessed crap and we were safely tucked away in middle age doing respectable soundtracks or appearing in the reality shows of the poorly-tattooed: but NO! these HALFWITS are here to PICK us up by the scruffs of our necks and drop us like used condoms on the dance floor. SHUT DOWN THE CLUBS!! RUN THAT D.J. OUT OF TOWN & HURRY BACK TO YOUR SAFE POP/PUNK PANIC ROOM.""
