AboutJob for a Cowboy is a deathcore/death meta band, based in Glendale, Arizona. They started as a deathcore group, but evolved into a predominantly death metal sound.
The name, "Job for a Cowboy", originated when Jonny Davy and Ravi Bhadriraju stated in an interview that it started off as a joke in high school, and the name just stayed with them.
After their 2004 demo, Job for a Cowboy released their debut EP Doom in 2005, to generally positive reviews. It was originally released on King of the Monsters records, but a larger record label spotted the band and signed them, and the album was re-released on their current record label, Metal Blade Records, in 2006 with a bonus track. After being signed, Andrew Arcurio left the band and was replaced by Bobby Thompson. Elliot Sellers also left the group after completing the writing and recording process for their Metal Blade debut, Genesis; he was replaced by Jon Rice during the YouTube tryouts. Genesis, was released on May 15, 2007.
In June 2007, the band attended Download 07 in Donington, UK. In July, they played on Sounds of the Underground 2007 alongside Chimaira, Shadows Fall, GWAR, Amon Amarth, Darkest Hour, The Acacia Strain, The Devil Wears Prada, Goatwhore, Every Time I Die, Heavy Heavy Low Low, and The Number Twelve Looks Like You. In October/November, Job for a Cowboy co-headlined the 2007 Radio Rebellion Tour, teaming up with Behemoth, Gojira and Beneath The Massacre. The band will be featured on the Gigantour 2008 North American tour with headliners Megadeth, Children of Bodom, In Flames and High on Fire.
