Band history

Drummer Matt Aveiro

After three of the four band members met at a Christian college, the quartet formed in 2004 in their hometown of Fullerton and then moved to Los Angeles to record their first demos . They signed to Monarchy Music and released their debut EP Mulberry Street in 2005 . In the course of the year they came into the orbit of the scene bloggers, became insider tips and toured in 2006 mainly with the Tapes' n Tapes or the Figurines . Having caught the attention of Pitchfork and NME , they switched to Downtown Records and, after further EPs, released their debut album Robbers & Cowards towards the end of the year .

In 2010 the band released the album Mine Is Yours . Guitarist Jonnie Russell left the band in 2012 and was replaced by Dann Gallucci (formerly Modest Mouse ). In the following years the band was able to record some successes. The single First (2015) reached number 1 on the "Billboard Alternative Songs" chart. In 2015, the Cold War Kids played at the major Lollapalooza Festival in Chicago.
