Cold War Kids Announce Falls Festival sideshows

cwkCold War Kids have added Melbourne and Sydney headline dates around Falls festival, ahead of the release of their fifth album ‘Hold My Home’.

‘Hold My Home’ was produced by guitarist Dan Gallucci and Lars Stalfors (Mars Volta, Matt and Kim) at the band’s own studio in San Jose, California.

The Los Angeles four-piece elevate their passionate take on indie rock having morphed effortlessly from the buzz band that brought us ‘Hang Me Up To Dry’ and ‘Hospital Beds’ to the distinguished single machine we see before us. Blessed with that reedy, urgent cry of a voice, lead singer Nathan Willett and his erstwhile cohorts have never been far from our hearts and radios with tunes like ‘Something Is Not Right With Me’, ‘Louder Than Ever’, ‘Miracle Mile’ and newest single ‘All This Could Be Yours’ (taken from their latest album) never failing to impress.

Doc Holliday Takes the Shotgun – “King of the Moon” Video + Tour Dates

DHTTS
Horror-surf rockers Doc Holliday Takes The Shotgun are back with the video to their second single from newly released EP, Odd/Even. The swampy, blues track titled ‘King Of The Moon’ starts off with lumbering shuffled drums, a rolling bassline and cutting guitar hooks. The guitars quickly pick up the pace into a distorted driving blues jam as the fiery vocals rant about being the king of nothing – a satire on individuals who pride themselves on trivial things, all while being matched with a fitting psychedelic video. ‘King of the Moon’ was recorded and produced by Chris Rollans (Lanie Lane – To The Horses) at Rec Studios. The band’s very own frontman, Jack Booker, can take a bow for directing and producing the new clip – bravo!
