We Kill Cowboys drop their dirtiest, heaviest track yet — Cherry Lips
Cape Town’s filthiest rock ’n roll troublemakers, We Kill Cowboys, are back with a track that bites, bleeds, and refuses to behave. Cherry Lips is the band’s first creation as a full five-piece, and it’s a snarling mix of punk grit, grunge dirt, and post-hardcore venom.
Born from the brain and battle scars of tattoo artist-turned-frontwoman Alex Muller, We Kill Cowboys aren’t here to play nice. Alex has ditched the guitar to unleash her voice at full force — raw, untamed, and impossible to cage. The latest lineup sees long-time ally Floris Le Roux join on second guitar, trading blows with Mornay’s razor-sharp riffs, while Andrew pummels the kit and Miggs drops bass lines thick enough to rattle your teeth loose.
“It’s heavy — the first song we’ve written as a five-piece. It’s about rejecting the idea that anyone needs to save you or mould you into their personal fantasy and refusing to let someone tame your wildness. It’s a feminist song, drawn from personal experience, but the message applies to everyone: don’t be anyone’s bitch — be your own.” – Alex Muller
Cherry Lips is taken from their upcoming album Back From The Dead, coming soon via Mongrel Records.
This isn’t background music. This is sweaty, stomp-the-stage, scream-until-your-throat-tears stuff. Cherry Lips is the sound of a band turning up the volume on their chaos, spitting in the face of conformity, and daring you not to move.
