About this album

The Original Sin is a sharp, stylish new wave debut that blends punk urgency with glam-tinged drama and a cool urban edge. Released in 1979, Cowboys International’s only album was fronted by Ken Lockie and featured a line-up drawn from the fertile post-punk scene, giving the record both bite and sophistication. Built on taut rhythms, angular guitars and memorable hooks, it turned songs like Original Sin and Here Comes a Saturday into a concise statement of late-’70s reinvention. Though not a blockbuster on release, the album has remained a cult favourite for its sleek sound and its place in the movement’s first wave.
