Happy release day to Westside Cowboy who’s incredible debut album ‘It Goes On’ is out today on Island Records to widespread critical acclaim

It’s been an absolute pleasure working with the band, from their first headline show at The Castle Hotel in December 2024, to selling out Manchester’s Albert Hall months in advance for 5th December this year!

We genuinely don’t think we’ve experienced this much anticipation surrounding a debut album before and the reaction it’s getting today it thoroughly deserved 🖤
