cowboyy are carving out a sharp new lane for UK guitar music. The South Coast trio of Stan Powell (songwriter, guitar, vocals), Kai Smith (bass, rhythm guitar) and Dan Haysom (drums) make psychedelic, guitar-driven math rock that feels hooky, intricate and refreshingly human.
Their sound pulls together tangled riffs, pop-minded songwriting, flashes of hardcore punk and a real commitment to personality over polish. It is technical without losing its pulse, with every turn feeling alive rather than overworked.
After making serious noise with 2023’s epic the movie and picking up praise from NME, DIY and Dork, cowboyy return with revocder.
