Altsounds - Cowboy Prostitutes - Let Me Have Your Heart [Album]

Riff Heavy Cock Rockers Play It By The Book.

Swedish glam rockers Cowboy Prostitutes claim that their new album “Let Me Have Your Heart” is a middle finger to the rock world and consider themselves to be a “real pain in the ass” to us critics. Fact is, no they're not a pain in the ass when it comes to lumping them in with a select category, because they carry their melodic, balls-out rock quite well. The only problem is “Let Me Have Your Heart” is so fucking cheesy it could be grated and devoured easily with beans on toast.

Granted tracks like 'Outrageous' and 'If The Sky' wield some terrific, lustrous riffs that swagger and stride just as Mick Mars would have wanted them to, and clearly the quartet are quickly mastering the art of the chorus to great aplomb, as highlighted by tracks such as 'Girls Like You.' Lyrically however “Let Me Have Your Heart” has the overall appeal of shit-stained underwear. Take the agonising drivel of 'Waitin' Around' as a prime example. It is head sure and cock strong and can result in great music with nice choruses but contains ultimately empty and pointless notions.

To summarize, Cowboy Prostitutes make literal cock rock. They shit syringes and piss vodka, they'll fuck anything with a front hole and they assume the mainstream shall / will be annoyed by this. So, if you're looking for invention or rebellion then avoid Cowboy Prostitutes like a pack of blood drenched lepers. However, if on the other hand you like your rock young, dumb and full of semen then this lot are right up your piss-smelling, sex-stained alley.
