'''Cold War Kids''' are a critically praised [[pop rock]] band from [[Fullerton, California]], [[United States|USA]]. They have released three [[EP]]s via Monarchy Music, and they appeared at the [[2006]] [[SXSW]] music festival and the [[2006]] [[Lollapalooza]] music festival. In 2006 they signed to [[Downtown Records]] in North America and [[V2]] for the rest of the world. They have toured in support of [[Tapes 'n Tapes]] and [[Clap Your Hands Say Yeah]]. Their music is heavily inspired by blues, and their stripped down sound has garnered both critics and fans. The influential music blog [[Pitchfork Media]] gave their debut album a middling 5.0 out of a possible 10. <ref>pitchforkmedia.com, [http://http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/article/record_review/39188/Cold_War_Kids_Robbers_and_Cowards "Cold War Kids Robbers and Cowards"] Accessed January 30, 2007</ref>
==The Band==
[[Lollapalooza]] described their sound as, "...clappy, clangy and jangly."
In addition to the aforementioned three EPs, in early 2006 the Cold War Kids released ''[[Robbers and Cowards]]''. They performed on [[The Late Show with David Letterman]] on December 21, 2006.
The Cold War Kids have been confirmed to be playing this year's [[Bonnaroo]] Festival via an interview with [[Jambands.com]].
The Cold War Kids's single "Hang Me Up to Dry" was [[iTunes]]'s Single of the Week starting January 9, 2007.
