Cape Town’s explosive and genre-defying rock outfit, We Kill Cowboys, are back with a blistering new single, 'Dead End', set for release ahead of their highly anticipated EP, Back From The Dead. Known for their electrifying fusion of punk, grunge, and post-hardcore, the band continues to push musical boundaries with raw intensity and fearless storytelling.

Fronted by Alex Muller, a renowned tattoo artist and singer-songwriter, We Kill Cowboys are no strangers to powerful, thought-provoking narratives. With Alex now solely commanding the microphone, the band has taken a heavier direction, bringing on long-time friend and producer Floris Le Roux as a second guitarist. His addition amplifies the sonic depth, complementing Mornay’s razor-sharp riffs, Andrew’s relentless drumming, and Miggs’ deep, fuzzy bass grooves that shake the core.

'Dead End' is more than just a song—it’s a gut-punch of raw emotion and hard-hitting themes. Exploring the harrowing realities of abuse from both male and female perspectives, the track shines a light on trauma, escapism, and the desperate need for recognition and love.

'“Dead End' is a powerful and poignant anthem that tackles the complex and deeply personal theme of abuse. With unflinching honesty, the song weaves together male and female perspectives, illuminating the darkest corners of trauma and the desperate quest for escapism. Beneath its driving rhythms and soaring vocals, 'Dead End' reveals a profound longing - to be seen, to be loved, and to find a way out of the darkness that can feel like a dead end.” – Alex Muller

Known for their intense and immersive live performances, We Kill Cowboys have carved out a formidable reputation in the South African rock scene. Their shows are a sensory explosion—unfiltered, unapologetic, and deeply resonant.

With 'Dead End,' We Kill Cowboys solidify their status as a band unafraid to challenge conventions and speak truth through music. The single is a taste of what’s to come on Back From The Dead, an EP that promises to be their most powerful release yet.
