Listen to “Audience of One” from the upcoming Behave Yourself EP

TrendRobot Rating:  10/10

Coming on the tail-end of a review where I never want to hear about a band’s “hype” ever again, the new single released by the Cold War Kids was refreshing, to say the least.  There are just some artists that get it.

It’s not about hype, it’s not about how many albums you’ve sold or what sort of pedigree you have . . . it’s about honing your craft . . . especially in the presence of nay-sayers.

After last year’s superb Loyalty To Loyalty, everyone seems to be waiting for the Cold War Kids sophomore slump to come in Junior year.  Well if this teaser is any indication . . . don’t hold your breath.  The lounge is full and hazy, but the band is on.
