JAWS JAWS JAWSSS X WE ARE COW

Our photographer in the field Richard went to Beacons festival a couple of weekends ago and met up, chatted and snapped the Brummie boys from JAWS.

These guys are going on a UK tour in September and have already been featured on BBC introducing stage at Reading & Leeds as well as a host of other festivals and in the word of the NME, they are producing 'Dreamy, Surf, Synth, Indie, Beach, Pop' 

All photography by Richard.

HEY ALEX, CONNOR, EDDY AND JAKE AKA, JAWS. 

HOW WAS THE REST OF YOUR BEACONS FESTIVAL, DID YOU GET A CHANCE TO CATCH MANY OTHER BANDS?

SWIM DEEP

Its everybody's favourite indie boy band from B.Town (Birmingham) these boys have come a long way in the past two years and are now hitting the big time. 

The boys are regulars at our COW Vintage store in Digbeth and we are glad to see them absolutely smashing it. Playing a host of festival and tonnes of tour dates make sure you get along to hear their infectious indie tunes like 'King City' with their debut album coming out in less than a months time on the 5th Aug. 

So kick of your shoes and open your ears to the sun 

kissed noise of our boys from Brum.

COW VINTAGE Spring/ Summer Campaign '13

Here at COW we have been super busy trying to jazz up our website, blogs, facebooks, instagrams, in stores and everything else visual. To do this we grabbed some babes, a load of clothes, shoes and accessories and went to an area in Salford in the freezing cold to take some photos of stuff we like!! I believe that's what they call in the fashion industry.. a "campaign".

Anyway here we have our selection of images you can expect to see knocking around online and maybe in stores.

     

 

 

    

       

      

A Massive Thank You to everyone involved.
