Westside Cowboy • Drunk Surfer • 2025

https://www.westsidecowboy.com/

“Thrilling - marked by a mood of ramshackle invention at odds with the studied, polished air of a lot of current alt-rock.” — The Guardian

“Come for the urgent, wistful guitars, and stay for the heart-wrenching harmonies.”
— Stereogum

“Rapidly climbing the rungs and notching up the wins, Westside Cowboy are the buzzy Britainicana newcomers determined to let down the ladder behind them.”— DIY

“One of the new acts heralding a gloriously ramshackle new era of ’90s-styled slacker rock.”
— NME

Tiberius • "Sag” • 2025

“Sag is about this dreaded ‘Allston to Bushwick’ pipeline we have in Boston. A lot of musicians end up using Boston to cut their teeth before heading off to New York or LA to pursue their music careers. I wrote ‘Sag’ when I was really playing the ‘comparison game’ in my head and asking myself what role I wanted music to play in my life. It was the first in a batch about looking at yourself in relation to the others around you and trying to decipher who you are without that context.“ – Brendan Wright (they/them)
