I should have music-mondayed about these guys this summer when I started listening to them. But, with no further adieu... Cold War Kids. I don't know how to describe their sound. It's exciting and there is something demanding about it. Nathan Willett's voice is, I think, a little unconventional...the type of music that would be great to see live. Foot stomping, head nodding.
I don't belive I've expressed my love of Take Away Shows on my blog. Maybe I'll blog more on that later. But Oh boy do I love Take Away Shows. They are one of my top favorite discoveries of 2008. On one of my browsings on blogtheque I found a fantastic Cold War Kids video, when they sing Saint John I am smitten. I believe this ignited the fire for me with Cold War Kids. Songs to check out: "Hospital Beds", "We Used To Vacation", "Saint John", "Hang Me Up To Dry", and "I've Seen Enough"
Cheers to Cold War Kids and Take Away Shows
