Cape Town’s We Kill Cowboys return with the video for new single Cherry Lips — a track that snarls, bleeds, and won’t be tamed. The song marks their first creation as a full five-piece, with the expanded line up igniting a heavier, more feral sound. It’s punk grit soaked in grunge dirt, sharpened with post-hardcore venom — and it refuses to play nice.
Frontwoman Alex Muller has stepped out from behind the guitar to unleash her voice at full force: raw, untamed, and impossible to cage. Written as the band’s heaviest piece to date, Cherry Lips rejects the idea that anyone can save you or shape you into their fantasy. It’s a battle cry against being moulded or tamed — a feminist anthem drawn from personal experience but one that resonates far beyond: a reminder not to be anyone’s property, but your own.
The new line-up sees long-time ally Floris Le Roux lock in on second guitar, trading fire with Mornay’s razor riffs, while Andrew thrashes behind the kit and Miggs drops bass lines thick enough to rattle bones. Together, they’ve taken the chaos of We Kill Cowboys and turned it into something even bigger, meaner, and louder.
