Cold War Kids 'Behave Yourself' album

As promised Cold War Kids will be releasing a 4 song EP called 'Behave Yourself' on January 19. They made a 1 minute video with their friend Vern to give you a preview of the songs and the video for 'Audience' that will come soon. They had a great time filming it in San Pedro; in our rehearsal space, skating on the docks, driving on the bluffs, shaving in the tide pools and being nude in a friend of a friend's bathroom. Cold War Kids is in the studio now writing and recording so they are only going to do 4 shows in January.

Cold War Kids biography
Cold War Kids means International Blues. We began in August 2004 with friends, jangly guitar, hand claps, and a Harmony amp in a storage room atop Mulberry Street restaurant in downtown Fullerton, CA.

For the first practices, having instruments was secondary to stomping and chanting; Clanging on heat pipes, thumping on plywood walls. Hollering into tape recorders. Slipping and swaying into alleyways and juke joints of yesteryear. Tapping in to the American dustbowl and British maritime.

On the restaurant's roof the sound and feeling was cultivated and burned, built and hallowed out, painted and stripped to the primer.

Almost three years have passed and we haven't let up since the starting gun fired. The album Robbers and Cowards was released in the US in October 2006 on Downtown and the rest of the world in February 2007 on V2.

Why even have apartments? We often ask ourselves as we have toured with the vim of a family reunion brawl across the US, UK, Europe, Australia and Japan.

Cold War Kids strive to make honest songs about human experience in orchards and hotel rooms, laundromats and churches, sea ports and school halls. We love the songs of Dylan, Nina Simone, and the Velvet Underground and make our own, which we like to think, are pretty original.
