Featuring members of punk bands Glitter, Janitor Scum and Vacuum Rebuilders, indie/art-rock act Yankee Cowboy was meant to make its Sled Island debut in 2020 as The CFB. Armed with a new name, the band is back, and although its sound ventures outside of the realm of previous projects, this new, more pop-friendly project is hardly toothless. The demos for “Bus Driver” and “Critters” show the band can bounce and play while retaining a snarl.
