CoSign: Westside Cowboy Just Dropped One of the Best Debut Albums in Recent Memory

Westside Cowboy, a UK indie rock band, just dropped their highly anticipated debut album, It Goes On. The band members, Jimmy Bradbury, Reuben Haycocks, and Paddy Murphy, discussed the album during a Zoom call from their van after a gig. Bradbury mentioned they had just visited a "chippy" for some chips after the performance. They previously performed a semi-acoustic show at Brighton's Resident Music, the first date of their UK Record Store Tour supporting their new album.

The band member's journey to this point has been swift, as they met during their time at the Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester and released their debut single just a year later. Their unique blend of British and American influences has resulted in a new sound they've dubbed "Britainicana." This album features a more consistently impressive display of their trademark sound, with standout tracks like "Kick Stones (The Boys)" showcasing their ability to create a compelling sonic experience without relying on heavy distortion or overdrive.
