Not many singers have ever experienced something like this.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Dead Cowboys are set to release their debut album on Shotgun Records June 21st.&nbsp;Blazing out of the American heartland, The Dead Cowboys are the sonic outlaws redefining what it means to ride the line between heavy metal and country. With a signature sound they\u2019ve dubbed \u201cheavy western\u201d, this band is a hard-hitting fusion of roaring guitars, outlaw swagger, and dust-kicking groove that feels like Mot\u00f6rhead riding through a ghost town at midnight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Originally formed in 2005 by Bobby Jensen\u2014a powerhouse performer with a voice as wild as the frontier\u2014The Dead Cowboys started as a passion project blending Bobby\u2019s deep love for classic country storytelling and the raw energy of metal. But when his other band, Hairball (a high-octane heavy metal tribute juggernaut), exploded onto the national scene, The Dead Cowboys were temporarily put out to pasture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"nv-iframe-embed\"><iframe title=\"BAD FRIENDS &amp; GOOD TIMES\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/dq4dxfpT7TM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Fast forward two decades and a pandemic later, and Bobby felt the winds of change howling. With the world paused and the road calling once again, he knew it was time to saddle up and resurrect The Dead Cowboys. What began as a side project is now a full-throttle mission to deliver a new kind of American music\u2014one that\u2019s loud, unapologetic, and rooted in both rebellion and tradition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether they\u2019re melting faces with a double-time riff or haunting souls with a steel-laced ballad, The Dead Cowboys are kicking down genre walls and leaving a trail of dust and devil horns in their wake.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><u>Upcoming Tour Dates:<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>6\/21 Album Release Party at Route 47 Pub and Grub, Fridley MN<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>8\/29 Le\u2019musique Room, St Micheal MN&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>8\/30 St Croix Casino Hertel, Hertel WI\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"590\" src=\"https:\/\/mkultramagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/DEAD-BOBBY-1024x590.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12596\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mkultramagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/DEAD-BOBBY-1024x590.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/mkultramagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/DEAD-BOBBY-300x173.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mkultramagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/DEAD-BOBBY-768x442.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mkultramagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/DEAD-BOBBY-1536x885.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/mkultramagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/DEAD-BOBBY.jpg 1773w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Bobby was the singer in band Hairball.
