COLD WAR KIDS (Rock - US)
With several remarkable EPs under their belt, Cold War Kids at first became one of the darlings of the Web before exploding with two impeccable albums "Robbers and Cowards" and their last one "Loyalty to Loyalty". In their hands, pop becomes abrasive, rock, a hybrid, soul, raw and exposed, and blues, frantic. But it's really on stage that the group reveal the true extent of their talent. With CWK, there are speaker-shattering melodies, aided by unstoppable rhythms and monstrous keyboards. The group balance, invent and wear out stand-out rock tracks with class. Cold War Kids have succeeded in establishing themselves at what the Americans do so well, with tracks that have the surprising ability of not being designed to please the masses, but which attract a large number of indie rock enthusiasts. Without any doubt, here is a big group of the future on their way up!
