November 8, 2019 mikecosmic 265 Views Austin, Cowboy Diplomacy, Ian Cochran, indie rock, Mike Cosmic, new music, new record, new release, pop, Review, Single, Sound Dessert

Austin’s Cowboy Diplomacy dropped their second track, “Bad Man” October 25. The song is from the group’s upcoming debut album, Burn Down The Road which was produced by Grammy-nominated producer Chris “Frenchie” Smith.

“Bad Man” explores the self-indulgence of one’s dark side, focusing too much on imperfections while searching for salvation is a recipe for hurt and turmoil. According to lead vocalist, Ian Cochran, “Bad Man” is a sort of self-manifested alter-ego of sorts.
