The Best Indie Songs of 2014 - Cold War Kids

 Cold War Kids’ All This Could Be Yours makes a dash for the finish line with driving drums and “Ooh oh ohs" creating an eerily desolate and desperate scene. It’s catchy but.

 

Cold War Kids are from Long Beach, California and have been making music since 2004. All This Could Be Yours is off their fifth album Hold My Home (Oct’14).
 

Cold War kids have described themselves as a soul punk band and have diverse likes. However the bass player's favourite bands as a youngster were Blur and The Jesus and Mary Chain. Great taste my man. Other Cold War Kids influences are Jeff Buckley and the Velvet Underground.


If you’re looking for further ammunition from the Cold War Kids try the indie anthem First or Miracle Mile. They're good ’uns.

 

Both the guitarist and the drummer in Cold War Kids are originally from Modest Mouse. Modest Mouse are from Portland, Oregan, and started making music in 1993. They are similar to Dr. Dog or Bloc Party. Their main influences are The Pixies and The Talking Heads. Float On (March, 2004) was the lead single from their fourth album Good New For People who Love Bad News (April, 2004) and is their most popular song. So with no further ado here’s the Modest Mouse classic Float On.
