Formed by tattoo artist and singer-songwriter Alex Muller, We Kill Cowboys craft a distinctive sound that fuses psychedelic rock, punk rock, grunge, and stoner blues. Their gritty, compelling, and unapologetically raw style has cemented them as a formidable force in the South African rock scene.
At the forefront, Alex Muller’s powerful, gravel-edged vocals bring depth to thought-provoking, anti-establishment themes. “Sweat and Blood” is no exception. Speaking about the song,
Alex shares, “The song is about our own internal, mental struggle. Being in that negative mind loop where you feel disconnected from reality, from yourself. It can be a scary place to go through situations that leave you distrusting yourself.”
“The chorus brings it back—back to letting that shit go and loving yourself. Trusting yourself by letting go of the thoughts and behaviours that don’t serve your highest good. We’re always searching for that internal peace of mind.”
