Cold War Kids: All Mixed Up In the Wash

Hailing from Long Beach, California, the Cold War Kids released their third and latest studio album Mine Is Yours in January of this year.  Rigorous touring, paired with a constant flow of new material from a number of EP's have produced quite a following.  Cold War Kids don't quite fit neatly in any musical category, besides the rather ambiguous Indie label.  However, there are shades of punk, soul, and gospel intertwined in their music.

Cold War Kids released their first LP in 2006, entitled Robbers & Cowards.  Here's the band performing one of their singles from that record, "Hang Me Up to Dry" on Later With Jools Hooland.



Head over to the Cold War Kids' website, where you can find info on their latest album, as well as some upcoming tour dates as the band returns from Europe.

Black Joe Lewis & The Honeybears- I Promise You'll Be Feeling Right

Black Joe Lewis & The Honeybears is a band out of the music haven of Austin, TX that is playing a brand of music few other bands are playing right now.  Lead singer Joe Lewis' bluesy howls coupled with jazzy horns contribute to a 70's style funk.  Formed in 2007 Black Joe Lewis & The Honeybears are using their style from the past as a vessel for a new evolution of music.

The 2009 release of Black Joe Lewis & The Honeybears' debut album Tell 'Em What Your Name Is! was met with critical praise from a number of outlets.  This past March the band released their second album, Scandalous to similarly positive reviews.  I've heard from many concert goers that they put on a great show as well.

Here's Black Joe Lewis & The Honeybears performing their hit "Sugarfoot", off Tell 'Em What Your Name Is! on "Later with Jools Holland".
