COWZ Unleash "Ur No Rockstar": A Glittery, Genre-Bending Femme Anthem

Brighton’s alt-pop duo COWZ are back with a track that doesn’t flinch. “Ur No Rockstar”, is their boldest, heaviest release yet an anthem for every femme who ever crushed on a man in a band and regretted it halfway through the set.

Premiered on BBC Introducing Sussex & Surrey, this single throws a middle finger in glitter and distortion. Glitch-pop meets punk grit, wrapped in candy-coated rebellion. It's girl’s girl music with a vendetta.

Men in bands, this one’s for you (kind of)

“We actually don’t think this song needs too much explaining,” they said, and they’re right. It’s messy. It’s hot. It’s tired of men with guitars who think they invented rebellion. “There are enough men in bands playing instruments, and many of them are diabolical human beings,” says Tasha (while Saga reportedly recoiled at the mention). But make no mistake it’s a personal reckoning. A love-hate letter. A scream into the gig void.

Sound-wise, it's their most brutal offering since “Rosalie” a mix of seething pop hooks and industrial punch. Think Charli XCX fronting a riot grrrl basement show. It’s not here to ask permission.

Cowz on a warpath

COWZ have never cared about fitting in. They’re too pop for punk. Too punk for pop. Too political to be palatable. And that’s the whole point. “Ur No Rockstar” comes right before their main stage appearance at Truck Festival, with Victorious, Y Not, Rebellion, and Tramlines still on the horizon.

As KERRANG put it: “This is what the future of punk looks like.”

As COWZ scream it: You’re not a rockstar. You’re just a boy with an ego and a reverb pedal.
