South African cool cats We Kill Cowboys is signed to wicked Mongrel Records and should stick with them for the rest of their career. Cause it seems like the perfect fit, the outfit and label both have a snarl. And a certain way to wag their tail if they have some delicious rock and roll bone in their snout! And rest assured, they won’t let go until you hear it as well. And if you follow the HiVe you know we’ve been mentioned a lot of singles they’ve released over the past years. And now, on December 5th, they will be releasing a six track EP called Back From The Dead! A highly infectious take on late nineties alternative that not just snarls but bites as well! 

They signal the new EP Back From The Dead as a rebirth for the Cape Town quartet turned five-piece. A band long fueled by the grit of punk, the weight of grunge, a splice of stoner and the bite of post-hardcore. A bite that has definitely gotten deeper on the new six-track. After stepping fully into the role of lead vocalist, Alex Muller drives this new chapter with a voice that cuts through like wildfire. Powerful and decisive, carrying tales of rebellion and resilience. The arrival of guitarist Floris Le Roux thickens the band’s sonic storm, locking in with Mornay, Andrew, and Miggs to forge a force that feels dangerous, growling, untamed, yet intentional. Rising from the underground’s chaos, they return louder, sharper, and fiercely alive, even if the whole EP is over in 23 minutes… We Kill Cowboys is Back From The Dead and not wasting any time killing it!! Ferocious stuff!
