The Cold War Kids are a unique band. Their sound is hard to explain. I feel like they're a jam band without jamming. They're a blues/soul band from LA. Really the best thing to say is that the music is strong and pierces through you, like if Bruce Springsteen wrote gospel music.
The kids are true performers too. I think there are some people who understand that being in a band is a job and you have to work when you're on stage. It doesn't mean you have to be mechanical, but you need to put effort into it. CWK understands this. Between the emotional singing, slightly odd setup (piano facing the wall, loose cymbal on a wooden box), and requisite dancing, there was always something that caught your eye and kept you involved.
I went with Amy, Vania, Brittany, Melissa, and Melissa's brother (and his friends). Melissa apparently grew up with the band members and went to church with them. Hopefully that means that no matter how big they get, I'll always have a ticket.
