Drummer first and foremost, but will happily give an opinion on anything rock, indie and punk related.
Manchester’s most promising indie band release another single off debut record ‘It Goes On’.
Westside Cowboy are just a mere two weeks off the official release of their first full length record, ‘It Goes On’. To bridge the gap of anticipation, before the record release and half a year of relentless touring, the band have parted ways with a single entitled ‘Dobro’.
With Jimmy Bradbury taking the lead vocals on this track, this slacker-rock-inspired tune is indicative of what Westside Cowboy prove themselves to be capable of time and time again. Bold, solid songwriting with a distinct emphasis on melody, moulding musical simplicity mixed with the indescribable magic of a well-oiled band that cannot be replicated. They are, for lack of a better term, the full package, and ‘Dobro’ is only further proof of this. It follows a classic structure of a Westside Cowboy track in its dynamics of a muted verse and a chorus crescendo that peaks in a flurry of madness at the end of the track, supplemented throughout by their signature country-twang and harmonising voices that make the song feel full and realised.
Put simply, it’s a belter.
