California indie rockers the Cold War Kids have released a minute long video plugging their sophomore album. Instead of coughing up a title, which is usually how these things work ("Cold War Kids release NAMEOFRECORDHERE on RELEASEDATEHERE"), the band has simply offered a date: September 23rd. The CWK's whole concept of saying the release date now, and album name later, might be part of a new guerilla hype-producing strategy I have been noticing lately. Beck follow... MORE

I tend to not want to agree with Jesse Lacey, but it's a known fact throughout the world (Well, the world that knows me...) that I am an acousticwhore.  It's a medical condition...I've been prescribed medication, but I chuck it down the toilet when no one's looking. I just listen to these alternate versions of songs and find myself transfixed at how the meaning, the mood, the everything of a song. One of my favorite examples of this is the Cold War Kids' song "We Used t... MORE

I am thrilled that I will get to walk from my house to see Radiohead tomorrow. While one might think such serendipity could only happen once in a lifetime, the fact is I walked from my apartment in The Fens to see Radiohead at Venus de Milo in 1993 when they played in support of their debut album, Pablo Honey. You know, back when "Creep " was the only song of theirs anyone knew, and I was a DJ at that venue.

This weekend they'll be playing at the Outside Lands Fesitv... MORE

The new album is set to hit shelves September 22. Never heard them? Be sure to check them out as they are not an act to be missed. More tour dates to be announced.

Since most of the bigwigs of MOG follow me, I figured I would quickly take the time to congratulate them on their recent developments and ongoing press that they have been receiving today.

This morning, I read several articles about MOG. The news proves that MOG is a much needed entity in the music industry.

Keep up the good work!

If I were a family man this song could be my life. Not because I am such an alcoholic, but rather because I derive so much pleasure from abject failure when juxtaposed with the hard work and sacrifice required to not let others down. I guess it's just a matter of taking control over your own life, choosing your failures rather than risking a stab at success only to be stabbed back.

Cold War Kids are one of my favorite bands and you'd think with as long as I lived in NY and for how many times they played Piano's like five shows in a row every month, that I would have seen them live...but sadly..I did not :/. Robbers and Cowards is an amazing album and there isnt a time when I don't feel like listening to it. Right now this song in particular rings true to how I feel about my mind right now..someone has indeed robbed it :P haha. But those stories my lo... MORE

what, with a stack of essays to grade, not even a quarter left of the latte, headache: large and in charge... regardless, cold war kids SLAMMED IT at the warfield last night. holy shit, they are a hot live show...great crowd, cool sound varieties, energy, swaying this way and that, singing loudly, pumping the fist, shaking the hips. grooves thick and funky...i've seen a shitload of music this year, and this floats up there. hope everyone is well.

Called Out: 2006 was a dizzying year for me and music. I acquired so much new music, I haven’t even listened to it all yet. And the albums I did listen to, I’m sure I didn’t even give a fair listen. You know what I mean when I say “a fair listen”? I mean listening to music like you did in high school and college. Spinning it constantly until you know every lyrical pun, bass run and backbeat. That’s “a fair listen”. Getting acquainted with the music you’ve acquired. ... MORE

Well due to some recent incidents shit went bad. but its better now. =)

Fullerton, California four piece indie rock outfit, Cold War Kids have released a new video for Hospital Beds the third single of their debut album Robbers & Cowards (Downtown). Check it out!

"Stayin' out late,

gettin' rowdy at the bar.They're lookin' for trouble uptown.They come up my block, 'bout 5 or 6 of them,smashing their bottles in the gutter.Yellin' all kinds of obscenities,about Woman and God and Law." --"Saint John" by Cold War Kids ==================================
I think I may have posted something by them once before, but they are worth seeing. They tell really good stories, and have very descriptive lyrics. It was hard to pick lyrics beca... MORE
