HYYTS – Hold On Cowboy

Your favourite Scottish duo are back with another spellbindingly fantastic slice of pop.

Best friends Adam and Sam have steadily been building a solid fan base (to include Sir Elton John himself) ever since signing with Warner Records in late 2019.

Now they’re preparing for the release of upcoming EP ‘Helluvatime’, and I for one cannot wait to give it a spin.

“‘Hold On Cowboy’ is our anthem for getting carried away and falling in love instantly. The inspiration from the song came from my real life relationship- I was working the first time I met my girlfriend and I served her in the bar where I worked but I don’t remember it! And then the second time I met her I fell head over heels cos I’m super dramatic and I couldn’t believe I’d met her before and not realised how perfect she is. And we just love cowboys so we used that phrase in the chorus lol. But we’re constantly getting carried away with ourselves so we thought we’d write a song about it. And it’s probably my fave HYYTS song ever!” – Adam, HYYTS

‘Helluvatime’ is out on 4th June 2021 via Warner Records.

HYYTS – Bad Tattoo

In the space of just one year, HYYTS have firmly established themselves as one of the biggest talents to emerge from Scotland, with their trademark style of euphoric pop never failing to impress. Now they’re back with their first single for 2021, and it’s as excellent as you’d expect.

“It’s all about scars, whether they’re self-inflicted or otherwise, and the pride they should stand for from getting through a situation and having the marks to prove it. So the idea was to use tattoos as a metaphor of how something painful can leave a positive impression and how being proud of your painful experiences is a beautiful thing.” – Adam, HYYTS

Watch: HYYTS – The Low Sound

“The idea of contrast has always been so important to us. Our personalities completely contrast – Sam is the illusive and quiet one, headphones in and getting inspiration from all angles and genres, putting weird sounds and erratic production over my completely different approach of bubblegum pop and cheesy lyrics. We seem to balance each other out, and it seems to work! The video and track follows that kind of idea of contrast too – it counterbalances happiness with sadness, darkness and light, lyrically happy but sonically a bit manic.”

– Adam (HYYTS)
