Cold War Kids

Cold War Kids built their name on restless, piano-driven rock, mixing bluesy shouts with sharp hooks. Songs like "Hang Me Up to Dry" and "First" turned the band into a radio staple over the years, and their catalog has kept growing into a reliable run of alt-rock records.

They have a Colorado date coming up at Dillon Amphitheater, a good excuse to catch a band that has been writing hooks for a long time.
