Cowboys Became Folk Heroes

what a sweet looking guitar

The past however many days have sucked, got a speeding ticket, owe a lot of money, like a full week of work, not getting my student loans, depression, creative slump, you know the deal

let's talk about some good ol' FLORIDA EMO to get me feeling again

I found out about Cowboys Become Folk Heroes through an article about the top 10 best screamo bands from Florida, I was expecting bullshit like A Day To Remember and was pleasantly surprised, here's a link if you're interested

TEN BEST SCREAMO BANDS FROM FLORIDA

Cowboys Became Folk Heroes were a band that began in 1999 in Lakeland, Florida, the only other good thing to come out of Lakeland is Publix, a chain of supermarkets that's only good for their chicken tender subs, other than that, fuck that conservative ass place, no employee discount

(i used to work there, i'd know)

they toured with Latterman and Bright Calm Blue and played shows with about every one of your favorite emo bands, they're criminally underrated, 

I think they also toured with Welcome The Plague Year, hugs, the fiction, and transistor transistor.

They were very young when they played and toured, 17, 18, 19.

I think reading their discography record insert made me want to play in a band and tour more than anything else. 

Nevin from Jiyuna/Autarkeia/Merkit/Plural Being/IFB Records wrote the script on the jacket. which i found out when i met him and started talking about Florida emo bands i enjoyed

Cowboys Became Folk Heroes sound great, chaos, ambience, violin, fuck

they sound like toru okada, at times they sound like iwhaciyy

they're just fucking great

they make my chest swell with better memories

perfect for long fast drives home, just don't get pulled over
