Cold War Kids first came together in Fullerton, CA, but, in many ways, Matt Aviero,
Matt Maust, Jonnie Russell, and Nathan Willett truly hail from the blog-o-sphere. Since forming in 2004, the quartet has worked hard to patent an original, edgy sound, based on the Cold War Kids concept Maust first explored as an artist. But it wasn’t until some of the internet’s most influential music portals picked up the group’s early EPs that Cold War Kids truly found its audience. In the months leading up to the release of Cold War Kids’ debut album, Robbers & Cowards, the four California artists also began branding themselves as an in-demand support act, placing them onstage with fellow blogger buzz-bands like Tapes ‘n Tapes, Sound Team, and Two Gallants. Below guitarist Jonnie Russel let’s us know what’s next.
