MaveriX Share “Josh Brolin” From Upcoming Debut Album “Cowpunk!”

After storming into the scene during the summer with their cowpunk sound on debut single Sweet Alberta, MaveriX are back in full force with their second single, Josh Brolin. The new song arrives ahead of the Italian trio’s debut album, Cowpunk!, which is set to be released on the 20th October via Rocketman Records. Josh Brolin doubles down on the punk influences the band had already shown on their debut single, without neglecting the country elements that influence the band’s distinct sound. 

Who is Josh Brolin? Everybody knows him, but no one really knows who he is: in this high-energy and catchy tune, MaveriX portray the Goonies, Marvel and No Country For Old Men star as the modern American cowboy, the straight-shooter tough guy who tries to steer clear of trouble, but trouble inescapably finds its way to him. 

“Songs that are named after someone always makes people curious: who is that person? What will they say? And why? Josh Brolin’s name and the characters he usually plays are the perfect inspiration for a country/western atmosphere and lyrics. You need the right base though: something intense, simple but at the same time impactful, and that’s how the song came to be. It was probably the most immediate song that we wrote: it came together during a mid-week session in our practice space, with a few beers, a guitar riff and a bunch of old stillframes from American movies. This is Josh Brolin. Hell yeah!”
