Music fans everywhere, rejoice. This fall marks the union of two of today's most celebrated bands together on one astonishing bill. After a highly-successful jaunt around the world, the critically-beloved Cold War Kids return to US stages this summer and will continue to take audiences by storm with The White Stripes this fall.
The next single and video from the
Cold War Kids' extraordinary debut album robbers & cowards (Downtown Records) will be "
Hospital Beds", a stirring tale told by front man
Nathan Willet's soaring vocals, heavy bass beats and striking piano tingles.
"...theatrical, high-energy shows, marked by singer Nathan Willett's dramatic vibrato and frenetic moves..." Spin.
"Over cave-stomp drums and post-punk guitars, the Los Angeles band channels the dark gothic spirit of the Deep South" Rolling Stone.
