El Picador Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 Back in April, Joe and I caught these guys opening up for Two Gallants at the Casbah in San Diego. I had enjoyed their set much more than the headliner, but didn't pick up their EPs until recently. Now, reflecting, I am remembering how great these guys were/are. Both of their Eps are solid. Anyone else heard them or fans? If not, I recommend checking them out either live or on CD. The CDs actually do them justice. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rghammo Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 Liked what I heard at http://www.myspace.com/coldwarkids so I will check them out. Thanks for the heads up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bböp Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 I seem to recall Carl Newman giving them a shoutout at Lollapalooza. FWIW. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jhh4321 Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 I bought their 2nd and 3rd EPs (the first one seems to be hard to come by) and thought they were solid but from what I hear you need to see them live. Good band though. My only complaint is that their singer's voice has a striking resemblence to Gavin DeGraw which irks me at times. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
alison the wilca Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 3 of these four guys were very good friends of mine in college. besides being reeeeally great live, they are such nice and genuine people. i didn't get to see them until recently for the first time and thought they sounded great and are obviously having a ton of fun doing what they are doing. i personally like nate's voice a lot, but i think its one of those "bono" voices that people either love or it drives them nuts.

Yeah, I talked with a couple of them after their gig. Really friendly guys. Great on stage. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WildMercurySound Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 Hospital Beds is one of my favourite songs of the year, and I like what I've heard on MySpace. BUT I wasn't impressed with their performance on the KEXP podcast. Nothing really tied together quite right. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Colb Masta M Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 I was visiting my friend in california at Biola University, and we were walking across a parking lot and heard music blaring out of a building. It was the Cold War Kids practicing for one of their shows the next night. My friend and I got to hang out with them for a while and listen to a private show. They are cool.

street spirit Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 i wish they would put out a cleaned up version of Sermon vs Gospel... although the demo is still awesome. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
