[edit] The band

The members of the band include Matt Aviero, Matt Maust, Jonnie Russell and Nathan Willett.

Lollapalooza described their sound as, "...clappy, clangy and jangly."

In addition to the aformentioned three EPs, in early 2006 the Cold War Kids released Robbers and Cowards. The album has been received well critically despite an initially lukewarm review from indie website Pitchfork Media.
