Band: WESTSIDE COWBOY
Who: Fast up-and-coming indies
from Manchester, UK.
Paste Magazine says: “They call what they do “Britainicana”, not quite a genre so much as a self-defense mechanism, a way of admitting they’re raised on American mythologies while still stuck in Northern England. Sonically, that mindset comes through as American roots shapes shoved through a British DIY garage-rock body: folk harmony and country phrasing jostling up against slacker guitars and punk velocity, like someone trying to sing a lullaby while sprinting.”
They turned all eyes and ears on their spellbinding post-Brexshit-punk disturbance with
2 EPs, This Better Be Something Great (2025) and So Much Country ‘Till We Get There (January 2026), both together worth an ace album.
And now the attention-absorbing juveniles
just announced details of their debut album.
Album artwork
It’s titled It Goes On and will hit the streets on
August 21st. Tracklist here. Pre-order info here.
Along with the news comes the first single, titled KICK STONES (THE BOYS).
A jittery, hypnotic, speedy guitar-riffin’ roller coaster ripper, spirited with Geese-resonating
duet vocals. All freshly galvanic and strangely thrilling. They’re gonna be big. Pretty soon.
