It’s amazing when you meet new people and ask their musical tastes.  That conversation always leads to someone discovering a band or artist they have never listened to before.  With as much music as I listen to, I am still introduced to bands I have never heard of.  Case in point was when I was asked if I like Cold War Kids,  I had no idea who they were or what they sang.  So I went home and started listening to their catalog, and that’s when I came upon this gem.  This four piece band from Long Beach, who have only been around since 2004, have released several albums in a short period.  Their latest album, Mine Is Yours, enlisted Kings of Leon’s producer, and you can hear that influence in the album.  Mine Is Yours in stores now.
