Free Music Notes for Robbers & Cowards
Free Music Review: See Them Live
Hit: 5 Stars
I got this album on a whim, and I've gotta say that I loved every second of it. I can't say there is a song on there that I don't either love or like a whole lot. But I can say that the big single from this, Hang Me Out To Dry, isn't even close to one of the best songs on the album. Robbers, We Used To Vacation, Saint John, and more are all phenomenal tracks and should be checked out if you're undecided on buying the cd.
I'll also say that when these guys came around to philly it was one of the best shows I've seen in a very long time. I went with a group of people that were split between never hearing a single track from them, and others who knew the album by heart, and everyone had a real good time. I went from loving this album to loving this band in one night.
Robbers & Cowards Poster
You've heard at least three dozen bands like Cold War Kids already. Bands fascinated with the first Strokes album and bent on expanding the promise of that artistically ill-fated group; bands bent on delivering records that have a fresh take on life in suburbia but offering instead a minor variation of angsty clich?s; bands that have quirky-but-catchy takes on songwriting; bands that try a little too hard. As unique as some of the ideas on Robbers and Cowards are, it doesn't take long before Nathan Willett's vocals begin to grate (even when he channels Jeff Buckley during "Passing the Hat") and the time between the initial excitement that swells with the opening cut "We Used to Vacation" and the moment you realize that Cold War Kids is just another mainstream band over-mining a once fertile underground sound is short enough that you can cut your losses and find something more worthwhile. --Jedd BeaudoinThis LA band has toured nationally with Two Gallants, Tapes 'N Tapes, Sound Team, and done Lollapalooza dates. They're known for their electric live shows and major publications have already taken notice, with coverage in Spin and a 4-star review in Rolling Stone. "A gorgeous piece of geek-rock soul...Bravo, kids!" - Rolling Stone. "Imagine the rawness of The White Stripes on day one. Or what Spoon would sound like at a church camp making music with found objects" - LA Weekly.
