The music world needs more foul-mouthed Scots! Anyone whose heart already beats for the Scottish indie and punk scene will surely agree. If you’re not quite there yet, you should give the duo Cowboy Hunters a listen.

Cowboy Hunters
Megan Pollock and Desmond Johnston met whilst studying in Edinburgh, but now live and work in Glasgow. Since 2022, the pair have been releasing snotty-melodic singles with impressive regularity.
Their lyrical stance is clear: Cowboy Hunters are firmly rooted in the punk tradition. But not the dusty old version – rather that of the younger generations, whose lyrics are more feminist and ironic.
In particular, their aggressive single “Perfect (Exceeder)”, on which Megan takes the lead vocals, quickly became an indie and/or punk hit in the UK. Their latest track, “Punched In The Head” – which begins with an eccentric electronic sound, then transforms into a dizzying indie-rock banger, and briefly veers off into a 20-second polka interlude – is also rapidly racking up seven-figure streaming figures.
Above all, Cowboy Hunters are best experienced live. It’s no coincidence that they were one of the most talked-about bands at showcase festivals such as The Great Escape in Brighton. In Germany, fans will finally have the chance to see them in April 2027, with a stop-off in Berlin.
“69 years have passed since the cowboys attacked. When the world needed them most, Cowboy Hunters were in the pub. This is a story of Farty Rock redemption. Tie your shoes.”
