PREMIERE: Cold War Kids - Louder Than Ever
It’s been a couple years since Long Beach, CA indie rockers Cold War Kids have released an album, but January 25, 2011 will see the release of their third studio album, Mine Is Yours (Downtown). The album was recorded and produced by Jacquire King, who has worked with Tom Waits, Kings Of Leon and Modest Mouse—the collaboration interweaves soulful energy throughout. We’re very...
Airship
Myspace // "Algebra" [Audio] A few weeks while I was in London, a friend suggested I check out Manchester’s Airship with him. Being that the friend in question has excellent taste in music, I took him up on his offer and I was not let down.

Monday's Leaky Faucet
Who: The Dodos Title: Time to Die Release Date: September 15th Label: Frenchkiss Thoughts: When The Dodos released Visiter last year most people were taken by surprise by the sudden, amazing sounds this band were putting out. Their debut studio album had gone largely unnoticed and suddenly they were a buzz band and worthy of all the admiration they were receiving. Because of their sudden rise to...

Modest Mouse Reviews

Robbers and Cowards
Band name: Cold War Kids Label: V2 Teaser: Rory Carroll finds much to enjoy in Cold War Kids’ corker of a debut album Pull quote 2: “the Cold War Kids musical style falls somewhere between traditional blues, old-time honky-tonk, and more conventional Indie - all resulting in a marvelous hootenanny of an album.” First para: Hailing from the...
