IF you’re looking for a neat origin story, Cowboy Hunters aren’t going to give you one. In an age where it’s possible to know everything – perhaps, too much – about our favourite artists, the Scottish punks are choosing to lean into a combination of mystery and farce.
Ask how the band began and you’ll get something closer to a shrug and a punchline than a full narrative. With Megan Pollock and Desmond Johnston, it’s clear that any attempt at sincerity will be immediately undermined. Crucially, though, this is by design, as well as a firm commitment to the lore.
