Cold War Kids are a great group of Californian rockers. Their Sound is hard egded, but still musically intonated. The lyrics are very often stories told through the eyes of various characters. "I promised to my wife and children / I'd never touch another drink as long as I live / But even then it sounds so soothing / To mix a gin and sink into oblivion" are the types of lines you find on their album Robbers and Cowards. This album title gives a very literal name to the types of characters portrayed on this album. Also, there is a very deep catholic resentment in various numbers such as "Passing the Hat", "God, Make Up Your Mind" and "Sermon Vs. The Gospel". They're very cool and worth the time and money for Robbers and Cowards.
