Cold War Kids are a Long Beach, California 4-piece who sprang to international attention in 2006 with their critically acclaimed debut ‘robbers & cowards’ and returned recently with ‘Loyalty To Loyalty’ an impressive, lushly textured follow-up. Cold War Kids are famed for their poignant, intimate narratives and brooding atmospherics and the new album delivers in spades; on tracks like the bar room piano-laden suicide tale “Golden Gate Jumpers”, the twitchy life advice of “Every Valley Is Not A Lake” and the beautiful, soaring “Dreams Old Men Dream”.

While still staying true to their soul-punk roots, ‘Loyalty To Loyalty’ marks a huge musical progression for the band. The new album has garnered great reviews all over the press. Rolling Stone wrote, “Cold War Kids attack their songs with unusual intensity, infusing even the most noirish, unsettling songs with a feeling of enchantment.” The album’s first single, “Something Is Not Right With Me” has been a hit at radio and was recently featured on an episode of the HBO series Entourage.

Cold War Kids are: Nathan Willett (vocals/keyboardist/guitar), Matt Maust (bass guitar), Jonnie Russell (guitar) and Matt Aveiro (drums).

The songs from the Cold War Kids Transmissions are:

1. Against Privacy
2. Something Is Not Right With Me
