Cold War Kids is an American indie rock band from Long Beach, California. The group is made up of Nathan Willett, Dann Gallucci, Matt Maust, Joe Plummer, and Matthew Schwartz. They formed in 2004 and released music on the independent label Monarchy Music.
In 2006, Cold War Kids signed to Downtown/V2 records and released their debut studio album, Robbers & Cowards. They later released, Loyalty (2008) and Mine is Yours (2011), which displayed the bands diverse musical sounds and lyrical content. Billboard stated, “the band has emerged with a set that’s more inviting than its first but just as catchy.”
Their latest album, Hold My Home, was released last month on October 21, 2014. The first single off the album was “All This Could Be Yours.” Paste Magazine stated the songs on the album are, “the strongest run the band has put together in its career, allowing frontman Nathan Willett to bend his all-risk, all-reward voice as far as it will stretch. With two Modest Mouse vets now in the band, the songs have a certain muscularity to them, and, if anything, guitarist Dann Gallucci and drummer Joe Plummer have raised the taste level over the last two records.”
