    They played 2 or 3 new songs at the Wiltern show (Heavy Boots was one) and they sounded pretty damed good. You could hear the progression of their sound but the sound was still all CWK!

    A new album from them can't get here soon enough.

    newer than anything else, though i think they've been playing it live for quite awhile...i vaguely remember hearing it way back in march, i could be very wrong on that one!

    i'm so excited for a new album...but i wouldn't be too upset if i have to wait a bit for one. they have a lot to live up to, so i want them to take their time. their just way too good!!
    yes...i do feel like a human. i do not feel like a tree.

    I don't know about that, but when I first heard them I thought they sounded like a cooler version of Maroon 5 :D

    I decided he was a mix of Jack White, Maroon Five Singer, and a little bit of the Killers singer...

    Either way... a great voice

    I'm loving Hang Me Up To Dry right now... amazing song

    nope, heard it plenty before...it's actually an older one, from the Mulberry Street EP.

    they played a new one at Shepherds Bush in October... was ok.. (I was supposed to record the show but I fucked up so I don't have it..got the Koko one from earlier this year, not very good quality though, was my first attempt with a mic..mind subsequent ones didn't work any better, but then a PJ mosh pit ain't the best spot for taping ;))

    Sometimes I can even hear some Brendan Benson, Thome Yorke, or the OAR singer in his voice... He has one of the best voices I've ever heard... Can't enough of Robbers and Cowards...

    just received this in their newsletter:
    FREE Unreleased "Mulberry Street" EP
    Cold War Kids recorded three 6 song EPs before releasing "Robbers & Cowards." The first of the three EPs is called "Mulberry Street." It was recorded in a day in M. Wignall's garage/studio for some design job favors from Maust and sixty bucks. In between takes, Wignall would play an album over the speakers, like Iggy Pop's "Lust For Life" or Neil Young's "After the Gold Rush," and go on long rants, pointing out sounds and talking about how good these musicians were and how we would be lucky if in ten years we could play a song anywhere near this good. We thought "Who cares! We just want to record our songs for us!" Then he showed us how to record vocals while he went to mow the lawn.

    Starting tomorrow, Wednesday Dec 12, RCRDLBL.com will be offering up for completely free and legal download two tracks from the previously-unreleased EP every day this week thru Friday. Download the songs from RCRD LBL here. We hope you enjoy it.
