New merch section on Bandcamp

Added a merch section with lot of merch on the Bandcamp site!

Scavenger Song – to be released April 25!

The Scavenger Song is all that you need from a gothic western tale! A dusty, atmospheric, slow burn hymn, an introduction and a farewell, and a portrait of Scavenger John! Have you said your prayers?

This is the first taste of what’s to come on the next studio album from Dark Side Cowboys. The single contains two songs. The title song also feature additional vocals from Stephanie Mazor (aka Soothsayer Mazor) from Finland, also know from bands like Sede Vacante.

Scavenger Song will be available for digital download on April 25, through Bandcamp only until May 1, when it will be available on most streaming platforms! Pre-order on Bandcamp is available now.

The release will also be available on an exclusive digipak CD. Pre-order it now from the DSC-shop to make sure you get your copy as soon as they arrive from the printers!

In memory of J. Strauss (1972-2026).
A cold western wind is blowing…

RIP Scavenger John – 1972-2026

DSC at Pustervik – Photo by Mikael Ahl

On March 1, 2026, Johan Strauss – a.k.a. Scavenger John of Dark Side Cowboys – a.k.a. J. Strauss of Morlocks – passed away. Words are not enough to express our feelings at this point. Our thoughts go to Johan’s family and many friends.

Friday, March 20, Dark Side Cowboys attended the funeral and memorial service that followed, held at Pustervik, Gothenburg, Sweden. DSC gave a special performance in shape of an acoustic version of “Dust”, in honour of the Scavenger.

Johan will be missed. We will remember and the energy and passion he gave every to performance, to every piece of music, to every interaction, every day.

We will see you on the other side, Scavenger John!
