Dead Cowboys - Twin Evil Stars

Dead Cowboys offer a distinctly British slant on twisted Americana and bottom-of-the-glass heartache. The band describe Twin Evil Stars as a 'cowgoth' hybrid of post-punk folk, fused to classic torch ballad pop. A sort of UnAmericana for people who dig Hank Williams and Joy Division, but think Ryan Adams sounds like bad pub rock. Singer and songwriter Dave Jackson rips through a stash of raw-edged, country-peppered prairie gems as menacing as they are dynamic. The album was recorded in the band's hometown of Liverpool in 2004, and follows their well-received debut Comings and Goings, released in 2000 on the Viper label. On this latest collection core members Dave Jackson, Becky Stringer (bass) and Greg Milton (guitar) are joined by keys player Peter Baker. Tracklist: 1. Twin Evil Stars2. Black Easter3. Violet City4.
