Over the course of nine studio albums and numerous EPs, Cold War Kids have become a major part of
the modern musical landscape thanks to deeply personal songcraft and a commitment to forward motion.
“First,” their platinum-selling 2015 single, named as the most played track at alternative radio outlets
nationwide in the last decade, and 2007’s “Hang Me Up To Dry” remaining a festival staple. Their current
lineup – Willett (vocals, piano, guitar), Matt Maust (bass guitar), David Quon (guitar, backing vocals),
Matthew Schwartz (keyboards, backing vocals, guitar, percussion), and Joe Plummer (drums, percussion)
– coalesced in 2016 and has released a whopping four albums and five EPs since then.
