Cowboy Hunters

The music world needs more cursing Scots! Everyone whose heart already beats for the Scottish indie and punk scene will sign off on that. Anyone who isn't there yet should check out the duo Cowboy Hunters. Megan Pollock and Desmond Johnston met while studying in Edinburgh, but today they live and work in Glasgow. Since 2022, the two have been releasing snarky, melodic singles at a fairly regular pace. Their lyrical attitude is clear: Cowboy Hunters stand in the tradition of punk. Not the dusty version, though, but the one from younger generations, who write with more feminism and irony.

Above all, their aggressive single "Perfect (Exceeder)", on which Megan takes the lead vocals, quickly became an indie and/or punk hit in the UK. The current "Punched In The Head" also reaches seven-figure streaming numbers quickly. It starts out electronic and quirky, then turns into a staggering indie rock banger and briefly swerves into a 20-second polka.

Above all, you should experience Cowboy Hunters live. It's no coincidence that they were one of the most talked-about bands at showcase festivals like The Great Escape in Brighton. In Germany, you finally get the chance to see them in April 2027. From then on, they play in Berlin, Hamburg, Munich and Cologne.

„69 years have passed since the cowboys attacked. When the world needed them most, Cowboy Hunters were in the pub. This is a story of Farty Rock redemption. Tie your shoes.“
