After giving fans a taste of what's to come at last month's stellar Celebrate Brooklyn performance, Cold War Kids announce details of their highly anticipated sophomore album. An impressive and lushly textured follow-up to their critically acclaimed robbers (2006), Loyalty To Loyalty will be released on Downtown Records in September '08.
While staying true to their bluesy roots,
