Cold War Kids on Later...With Jools Holland

[Jacqueline1Ramos]

They walk around so much. oh my god

[lyndonrules]

Kinda sounds like the vocalist from LCD soundsystem. Forgot his name. James Murphy. :D

[mrdavidshoe]

it looks like they're about to knock each other over lol

[RaygunShaun]

This song looks like it would be extremely painful to sing and play live every night.

Props to this brilliant band.

[joeafb]

Their good so there

[Vote1Jimmy]

They need to have a show like this in Australia so i can live there

[hachano24]

i love these guys, only found out about them recently but they're awesome

[clarapoko]

My new favorite sound. :D

[maxmison1]

what is that beautiful beautiful guitar?

[SCARxxSCAR]

@glovisy7

trolls with no good taste in music

random un-needed comments

What's not to like?*

*sarcasm ;)

[BlakeIsOWNAGE]

JONNNIEEEEE

[lbomb8]

saw them open for muse a few years ago. they killed it. been a fan since.

[jarvisj99]

@lbomb8 @ the 89x birthday bash?



[lbomb8]

@jarvisj99 noo..somewhere in toronto!

[elchad252]

Right on dude. I have made the woody harrelson joke many a time. Josh homme indeed. all he needs is a beer and to go UH!!!

[pedestrianalliance]

didn't know josh ruben could sing.

[perico90]

I saw them earlier this year and they were 10x better than in this video, I love this fucking band

[Ilovemadetobreak]

most awkward guitarist and bassist

[glovisy]

Hollow guitar sound, repetitive riffs, random piano slamming, no sense of progression. What's not to like?*

*sarcasm

[ryand111]

@glovisy the power of blues ;)

[glovisy]

@ryand111 true

[NiGhTeMpEsT]

They fuckin reign live, great sounds, great singer.

[sk8er5127]

haha what the hell at 1:47-1:50

i love this song(:

[ChickenGoujons]

I love the singer's voice a lot. It's so different, so incrediable. Hitting some awesome notes on this one.

[sugaa]

they move everywhere.

[maklo]

well done!

[MMCCmansonboy]

omg that crowed is dead

[rickyisforlovers]

i love song

[doksekko]

I really like cold war kids, but to me it seems when they are live the lead singer is doing his best joe jocker and thats kinda lame

[ragamuffinboi]

this is a cover???

[nicklessz]

nope

[ragamuffinboi]

thanks! ive heard of this song long time ago on a local radio station and thought its a female voice.

[nicklessz]

There's also this British girl who sings it, forgot her name tho.

[baletz]

@nicklessz Kate Nash butchers this song. It's absolutely horrible.

[nicklessz]

@baletz never said she doesn't

[Papryczka0507]

no. it's their song;)

[cygnusjung]

love it

[raulbarrientos007]

bitching

[29573428937]

The only thing I don't about the singer is how his voice tends to quit on him when strained, and it makes it seem like he's just another garage band singer. What a shame, because I love his voice.

[realcheesylogin]

do you realize how high he is singing? no fucking wonder it gets strained

[29573428937]

I'm fully aware of that. I'm just saying that I wish he had more endurance or some vocal training.

[TamiliaWaite]

I like it so raw! one track on the album sounds very 'strained' but adds to the song's emotion!

[angiebluesong]

feckin awesome!

[spudlington]

less is more

[29573428937]

i love the unique sound the guitarist has

[nazyndred]

fukin unbelievable performance and the album is amazing also

[guitarboi2k3]

anybody know what kind of piano he plays?

[lifeanddeath234]

Fullerton

[Perseas555]

YAMAHA cp-80

*

[deirbomber]

this band is cool as fuck

[fernfern9]

powerful riffin

[95ness95duck]

they are amazin

i think he sounds better live XD

[jessedan2]

the more i hear the more i love... i got turned on to them watching entourage... and that song just blew me away... i have a hunch theY are great live

[smartiipantze]

they are just awesome.

nathan has so much soul in his voice

[stobbo123]

sick song, sick performance

[greyreview]

this is such a terrible song lol

[ryand111]

i love his voice so much is sounds better live than on their albums and the bass just makes me cream my pants

[mcduffels]

@ryand111 ive always found his voice to be consistently good

[valeblaize]

Well f**k me sideways and call me Susan ! what a splendid performance.

[cactaceous]

I saw this band in 2006 in a small basement gig in Brooklyn. Dragged there by a friend. It was annoying to see the guitarist and the bassist walking around the stage then, still annoying here.

[dustinlaukhuf]

maybe you should focus more on how amazing they sound like and how good the music is....

[Xcelerator16]

What's wrong with getting into the music?

[garvito101]

ah come on, that sounds fucking perfect.

[edinho420]

Why does he have to spank the piano like that ???

LOL

[thomashydes26]

its on the actual record mate, you just got to listen to it

[dollhairthepup]

Woody Harrelson and Josh Homme had a baby.

[dollhairthepup]

Oh! And add a dash of Issac Brock.

[FatBlackFrancis]

@dollhairthepup There's a little Eric Stoltz in there too..

[ChernobylTaco]

Every time I see the front man, I think it's Woody Harrelson.

[frankybm123]

no way he looks like josh homme

[ChernobylTaco]

What!? Josh looks like a ginger Elvis. This guy is a natural born killer.

[dollhairthepup]

A Ginger Elvis who happens to be a Natural Born Killer.

[alonline]

yeah at the begining mainly

[alonline]

yeah a lot like josh hamme

[skullodreamz88]

I can totally see the woody harrelson comparison, especially when he sneers to sing some of the lyrics.

[daneeehhhh]

oops, that bass cable played a little rebel on these on the kids, that big valvy ampeg(correct me if im wrong) screamed big time!

[b4ko0]

love it !

[nachoqnk]

Son increibles one of the best band of 00

[spikearchie]

this is alright..!

[defaultuser8]

gotta love them!

[snavedizzle]

Epic piano smash at 1:47. Haha, I love Cold War Kids.

[soccerjunkie7]

Nathan Willet's piano skills never cease to amaze me.

[sattfield]

Oh man that guitar sounds LUSH!

[SOCS85]

rockin the F out u gotta love em

[hellojoshymosh]

what a great band

[raggabass]

L.B.C in da hosue!

[tinatheseducer]

oh i love the sound of the guitar

in the first song. what guitar is that?

suppose to be a jazzbox by gibson. anyone?

[12345l6789]

tink so :)

[tventh]

Gibson es 135

[tinatheseducer]

thanx man!

[djgph]

wow :) i love the guitarist's voice :P

[stayclever]

The lead singer looks like comedian will forte!

Google it.

[Sayyyywhat]

HAHAHAH HE DOES. WHERES DEMETRI MARTIN AT?? hahaha

[flipfloppityfloo]

lol, kinda. You gotta look at it from the right angle...

[kellbellandregface]

OH MY GOD will forte is so funny.

and i agree they look exactly alike

[tomrhys]

They have stated many times that Radiohead were a HUGE influence on them.

[olavtrygve]

They dont really sound that much like Joy Divison (of course you can find similarities if you look but no the same bands tbh). His stage apperance on the first song is similar to Ian Curtis thought.

[indie094]

Wilett's vocals for "Tell me in the morning" are fucking GREAT!

:]

[hightimesbruce]

They don't sound anything like Joy Division.....

[matiaspasch]

no i can see where the comparison comes from, with the vocals

[pissymaster]

I can play piano like him

[polonista]

great!!!!!!!!

[29cynthia29]

Love this song, can't wait for the new album.

[Tatertot5319109]

there really good. ive always liked them, and will never hate them.

[iamgodofrain]

these guys are mint live, due more credit and need more material!

[kat9213]

fantastic!

[qwer8907]

they sound like joy division

[BearSeatown]

i believe there are some similarities yes, but a lot of Indie bands are influenced by Joy division...

[HuRleYSkAtEr23]

AWESOME

[elguappoburro]

Awesome performance.

[GingerAleRain]

Great performance here.

[willbob19]

i lvoe the guitarist of this band, he has such good style, really different

[muscade22]

its exactly the kind of band that i want to when ill be older

[MrBowie]

I'm happy they arent well known - hype normally means they actually arent THAT good - see Oasis.

[ActionPink]

Hahahahahahahahahaaaa!

[MrBowie]

I speak the truth - you know this.

[jbarry716]

lol im confuzed so oasis isnt htat good? sorry im slightly retarded

[MrBowie]

Oasis are just overhyped mate - given far more credit than they deserve. Musically crap, stolen lyrics - don't get me started!

[jbarry716]

yea they would be better with out all the hype...more pressure and they just didnt step up...

[MrBowie]

Not a bad band but not the band they are made out to be! As for Cold War Kids long live lack of hype :)

[partyorange]

Yah,and Oasis's lead singer was a total arrogant jerk who thought he was a lyrical genious.please.

[fadinboy]

Of course he was an arrogant jerk, but that doesn't detract from him neverthless being a lyrical genius.

[MountainNudibranch]

im sorry but you are mistaken... cold war kids are very very well known... they were in a target commercial for christsakes.

fucking incredible band though

[MrBowie]

Think you're mistaking me for an American mate. I'm from the UK and trust me they aren't well known.

[MountainNudibranch]

UK? whats that

the world is flat, europe is just made up by the liberal media!

white jesus!

[CHErevolucion1]

dude just go lynch yourself like your kinds been doing to people

[MountainNudibranch]

are you fucking kidding me dude haha

im yankging his chain

[Konner]

That show brings out the best in every artist who performs on it. Have you ever seen a bad performance on that show? I never have.

[MrBowie]

Seen plenty! But I get your point - its a heavily watched show in the UK.

[Konner]

That show brings out the best in every artist who performs on it. Have you ever seen a bad performance on that show? I never have.

[nasratfatty]

they're pretty good, saw them live in 2007 and they were cool, but not AMAZING.

[Visoinary]

Cold War Kids great band great music and perfect lyrics should definitely be more well known

[SpottyPony]

I seriously LOVE these guys! How come they aren't as well known as they should be!?

[vad10]

Because people are thick......

[slakpak]

This was the first time I ever heard them, immediately went out and bought the album. Incredible band.

[h2opolokd]

cold war kids. . . giving fullerton, ca some pride and respect!!!!

[Glhrd]

i liked when the did "tell me in the morning" better. No offense, i liked both but i thought that on was better

[boalcura]

Really good edgy performance.

[jherrg]

saw them live and it was sooo much fun. Listening to them live is better than their cd, and thats that they are amazing in their cd

[shaolinkin]

fucking love this band. i really hope they at least have some sort of mainstream success just for the sake of their continuity.

[dirtyprettyjohn]

That is so good. Who needs anything, when you can hear that?

I hope that they got will the respect they deserve. But even if the people who likes, le'ts say, things that the press say you should like, and not Cold War Kids, I can bet that nothing will keep them away from doing music. I love to see how they love it.

[emlove143]

yum... i love cold war kids...

[volcom0159]

hhaha tell me in the morning! awesome song first time i heard it i couldnt stop playing it

[dusu57]

bass line is unreal... hmmm playing octaves on the root, creative stuff..

[jackmstreet]

prick. not everything has to be complicated to be unreal.

[dirtymexican863]

I'm gonna have to agree. It suits the song, but I wouldn't use the term "unreal."

[lilburch4505]

it suits the song. if you wanted every instrument to go all out on every song nothing on earth would sound good. use some common sense. and of course thats not what you meant but you certainly did imply it.

[douggie22]

bass line is unreal

[Balsch]

he really looks like josh

[DesertChemistry]

Snap! I bought their album the following day. Brilliant. HMUTD is a feckin sublime track!

[blackpoolsblowin]

I watched this episode that friday night,first time i'd heard of them,i thought they were class..

[DesignerBaby]

the guy's voice goes about half way thru "...Morning", still pretty good tho, i'm yet to see a vid of them playin badly. and, believe me, i've looked...

[ogvert]

Fantastic band, but not their best performance of either song sadly. Nathan just didn't hit the notes that night, and "Tell Me In The Morning" (odd choice) was bloody excrutiating. I've seen em live and this was not typical.

HMUTD my all time favourite song.

[rosabc]

lead singer semi looks like quentin tarantino hahahahaha

[mings00]

The bloke on bass is in that specsavers ad on tv!!!well spotted!

[Shadowhachi]

lol

[mings00]

Iain Lee on drums....wow!

[Shadowhachi]

Iain Lee, Woody Harrelson?!!!!!, there must be a Specsavers near you lot?. :0)

[jacket23]

this is a really great performance and i don't even think this song is that great

[StartWearingGogol]

There really arent any other bands like the Cold War Kids.

Such a amazing band, love the album. really good sound

[Swodaem]

Top performance, on what's been an otherwise rather drab Jools series. Love this band...just wished they'd done Hospital Beds.

[Londoner123]

Cheers TONY316! Great performance from CWK here..

[machieaveli]

Probs everyone has noticed, but thought I'd just say the lead singer looks creepily a lot like woody harrelson.

[shrij]

I'd say a creepy mix of woody harrelson and josh homme of QOTSA

[flowerphone]

id agree with josh homme
