Westside Cowboy release new single ‘Dobro’

Manchester quartet Westside Cowboy release new single ‘Dobro’ following its premiere by Huw Stephens on BBC 6 Music. Debut album It Goes On (pre-order here) is out August 21st via Island Records.

Hot on the heels of two brilliantly received singles ‘Kick Stones (The Boys)’ and ‘Pin Up Boys’ (currently on the A-List at BBC 6 Music and C-List at BBC Radio 1), as well as an already iconic Later... With Jools Holland performance (one of the most viewed of the current series), ‘Dobro’ is the final preview of the highly anticipated It Goes On.

Detailing their latest effort, Westside Cowboy explained:"This is our strut song, over 2 minutes in length but just under 3. A song for perhaps a younger self? For that moment of waiting and isolation in the hopes of a return. Or it could just be a song about a weird guitar. Who knows!"

Westside Cowboy have always tried to focus on what unites people. Early on in the group’s life, they co-created No Band Is An Island: a Manchester-based collective putting on fundraising nights to spotlight both local artists and important issues via speakers from charities and direct action groups, and the video for the album’s lead single ‘Kick Stones (The Boys)’ was shot in collaboration with activist football club FC United of Manchester.

The quartet will be supporting the album release with their biggest headline tour to date this autumn/winter including sold-out shows at London’s O2 Forum Kentish Town and Manchester’s Albert Hall. They have already packed out tents at Tramlines, Latitude and TRUCK this summer - and will also appear at Green Man, and Reading and Leeds later this month.
