Mancunian indie quartet Westside Cowboy have been playing in Up Boys at pretty much every show for year-and-a-half, but never got around to recording it properly in the studio. They tried and tried, but it never really gelled. A semi live take should have salvaged it, but even that take on the classic loud-quiet-loud approach stumbled and fell flat on its back. That is a pity, but rest assured: they will get it right on stage.
Pin Up Boys is released via Island Records. Their new albumn It Goes On will hit the shops on August 12th (vinyl, CD, digital). The video was directed by Jack Shep.
