Returning to the UK for the first time in over two years, Long Beach-based Cold War Kids played to a sellout crowd at Camden's Koko venue.
In light of the newly-released album, 'Mine Is Yours', opting for a more 'arena' sound, it's evident that the large, upward venue should play host to the band. Nathan Willett's vocals certainly soar all the way to the top of the venue, and newer songs such as 'Royal Blue', 'Louder Than Ever', 'Skip The Charades' and 'Cold Toes On The Cold Floor', plus 'Audience' (from 'Behave Yourself' EP) were certainly recorded to get this effect from a venue.
It's obvious to say that older classics were treated with the most cheers, particluarly 'Hang Me Up To Dry', 'Hospital Beds' and 'We Used To Vacation.' They certainly didn't look out of place within the venue and the arena sounding, with the crowd in full voice throughout, marking the echoing vocals of Willett. Whilst finishing track 'Saint John' saw Willett into the crowd and enjoying himself and probably the band's return to the Capital, as he mentioned several times about how they had wanted to.
Whilst the older songs were greeted with the most cheers, still the crowd sang along to every word from the new album and seeing it live seem to make me enjoy it even more. A great return for the Kids, who will no doubt (and hopefully!) be back again soon.

The Strokes comeback leaves more to be desired
As you may have heard, The Strokes launched their return to the music world, with a sneak preview into their new album, "Angels" due March 22, via the song 'Under Cover of Darkness.'
Despite the commotion and excitment this release caused, the end product is not probably what we were hoping for. Whlist it starts decent, it seems to decend into a 'Is This It' filler track, as the band seem to want to return to that sound, as opposed to launching a different and relentless assualt on the stale, state of rock music today. Unfortunately it isn't the big return many were hoping for, and suggests the comeback won't be as good as promised.
Also, what the heck has happened to Julian's voice??!
Reviews>>Cold War Kids - Mine Is Yours (V2)
Back in late 2006, a band appeared from Fullerton, California, setting the blogosphere alight with their bluesy indie rock tunes. Following the release of highly-regarded debut 'Robbers & Cowards' in January 2007, Cold War Kids unfortunately have yet to recreate that momentum.
While follow up 'Loyalty to Loyalty' recieved warm reviews, it didn't recreate the same mainstream breakthrough, and after touring for the last two years, Cold War Kids return with their third album, 'Mine is Yours.'
Cold War Kids teamed up with Kings of Leon producer Jacquire King to part-record the album in Tennesse, and certain 'arena' sounds are included on this album. Title track 'Mine is Yours' and 'Louder than Ever' are evidence of this new arena, blues rock the Kids seem to be aiming towards.
However, it's not all one way traffic. 'Royal Blue' and 'Sensitive Kid' are Cold War Kids at their best, particularly the former; fast paced percussions and soaring guitar solos, definately the album's highlight. 'Skip The Charades' is also heartbreaking, mellow piano riffs that will probably be the sound track to Grey's Anatomy and other hosipital dramas.
The arena sound certainly suits frontman Nathan Willett's ranging soul vocals, he sounds as they he's been long waiting to express himself to such levels. The 80s sounding percussions also bring the Kids a new dimension.
Overall, it's not a bad return, however anyone hoping for another 'Robbers & Cowards, will be disappointed.

A-Z of 2011
A is for Animal Band Names//Foals, Pulled Apart By Horses, Dinosaur Pile Up, Chickenhawk all had big years in 2010, so expect more new bands naming themselves after the animal kingdom.
B is for Brother//Seen as the next big thing by anyone from the NME to XFM, the Slough foursome want to bring lad-rock back to the mainstream. Despite a lack of originality and talent, expect to see them everywhere in 2011, mainly as their lead singer Leonard Newell won't shut up and considers himself as the new Liam Gallagher.
C is for Comebacks//Expect 2011 albums after long absenses from The Strokes, Beastie Boys, The Shins, Foo Fighters, Blink 182, Cold War Kids, Queens of the Stone Age, whilst also on the comeback trail are Arctic Monkeys, with their fourth album due around September.
D is for Dave Grohl//Foo Fighters frontman has had fans wetting their lips about their new album, after describing it is a "massive sound." Expect a big year for the Foos.
E is for El Scorcho//Will Weezer be bringing their 'Memories' tour to the UK in 2011? If there's a God, yes. If not, we can do with a Kings of Leon tour instead.
F is for Festivals//Yet again festivals will be eagerly anticipated, from hearing new bands, to long-awaited comebacks and to the best contemporary stars. With Glastonbury taking a year break in 2012 and Reading celebrating a 40 year anniversary, expect some big names appearing.
G is for Great Escape Festival//The annual pilgrimmage to Brighton will uncover the next big things in Britsh, and around the world, indie and alternative music. Last years line-up included the likes of Ellie Goulding, Pulled Apart By Horses and Young Guns.
H is for Hype//Once again the NME and BBC's Sound of 2011, has determined which bands are set to be heard non-stop in 2011. So far, the list doesn't inspire anything new or exciting in the music world, however their hype will no doubt overwhelm their talent.
I is for Iron Maiden//New tour underway in the summer, a comeback album on the horizon, and perhaps a Reading and Leeds headline spot?
J is for Jessie J//Love her or hate her, and I'm certainly leaning towards the latter, expect her to be everywhere this year. Surely the results of when N-Dubz and Lady Gaga had a child, unfortunately she's one of the those bugs you can't flick away.
K is for Kings of Leon//No Doubt, the brothers (and cousin) Followill will be one of the most played and talked about artists of 2011. It is their first UK stadium tour after all, even if they are massive, massive sellouts.
L is for Libertines//After a storming comeback at Reading and Leeds, and a less than impressive Carl Barat solo effort, they could be the next band to announce a reunion and maybe a few tour dates too.
M is for Mona//Seen as the replacement to Kings of Leon's bland, stale, arena rock, the Nashville foursome create a mixture of 50s rock n roll, QOTSA riffs, KOL basslines and the soul of Gaslight Anthem. Not original, however they are a refreshing change to the arena sound which has gone stale recently.
N is for New Jersey//After excellent albums in 2010 from local lads The Gaslight Anthem and Titus Andronicus, who will be the next band from The Boss' hometown to produce a gem in 2011?
O is for Overseas Festivals//Anyone who isn't interested in seeing the best of Blighty's festivals, is inclined to go and see a festival abroad. Most line-ups are already filling up, Benicassim in Spain, Hurricane/Southside in Germany and Coachella in California already look to be epic.
P is for Political//With the upcoming royal wedding and the Coalition government doing their best to outshine Margaret Thatcher, expect a host of political, angry music to explode back onto the scene this year. Johnny Rotten talking about a Sex Pistols comeback? Well, he had to try and get his nose in front of everyone else.
Q is for Queens of the Stone Age//Homme and the boys are set to release a new album this year, which will probably (hopefully!)mean UK tour dates again and maybe another festival apperance, after their storming set at Reading and Leeds last year. Welcome back lads.
R is for Reading and Leeds//Pulling Weezer, Arcade Fire and The Libertines, out of, it seems, nowhere, who will Melvin be unveiling to shock in March? Beastie Boys? The White Stripes? Iron Maiden? 30 Seconds to Mars? (ahem..)
S is for Soundtracks//With more big name movies arriving in 2011, there will be another batch of movie soundtracks coming along. Expect Muse to be at the forefront of another woeful, wet Twilight soundtrack. Jared Leto will probably be sticking his oar into a soundtrack, too.
T is for Theatre//The new way to get your music out there seems to be the theatre way, U2 writing the Spiderman musical, Green Day writing American Idiot, who will jump on the bandwagon in 2011? The Rolling Stones? Muse? Probably.
U is for U2//With Bono back to full health, an expected Glastonbury appearance and a new album in the wings, it means we'll have to put up with U2 all year.(Yay!)
V is for Vaccines//The Vaccines are another band listed to watch this year. Blending a mould of The Courteeners and Editors, sounds terrible, but someone's gotta like it? Haven't they?
X is for X Factor challenge//Simon Cowell's money juggernaunt will be back again and chasing the Christmas number one with their inferior, mediocre cover of a decent track. So therefore once again a Facebook-led rebel campaign will be underway. After Jeff Buckley in 2008, Rage Against The Machine in 2009 and The Trashmen in 2010, 2011 is open to ideas.
Y is for Yuck//Yuck by name, but certainly not by nature. Expect them to be big by the end of the year.
Z is for Z-List//Expect to see more bands on the Z-list (think Guns N' Roses) announce a comeback this year, hoping to gain the type of money they no longer see.
B is for Brother//Seen as the next big thing by anyone from the NME to XFM, the Slough foursome want to bring lad-rock back to the mainstream. Despite a lack of originality and talent, expect to see them everywhere in 2011, mainly as their lead singer Leonard Newell won't shut up and considers himself as the new Liam Gallagher.

theAmp's Singles of 2010
The standout tracks from the best artists of 2010, as chosen by theAmp.
Surfer Blood - Swim//Ok, we're cheating here as it was actually released in 2009 in their native US, however across the pond we didn't get the album till January 2010, whilst it was released on Rough Trade in May. One of the leaders of the rebirth of lo-fi surf rock in 2010, this track from the Floridians is drenched in reverb, while the echoing vocals of John Paul Pitts will leave you singing it for weeks. But what was it about, swimming or suicide?
Vampire Weekend - Diplomat's Son//Based on a song from the Clash and a borrowed M.I.A sample, this was the standout track of Vampire Weekend's excellent sophomore album. The whole song is set around a wild house party, with the song's protagonist coming out. An emotional rollercoaster ride, written by keyboardist Rostam Batmanglij about his struggles with his sexualty, it brought the summer early in January 2010.
Yeasayer - O.N.E//One of the best dancefloor tracks of the year, this odd track from Yeasayer was one of the suprise hits of the year, bringing the trio into the mainstream and even appearing as a track on FIFA 11.
Ce Lo Green - Fuck You//A simple track about a cheating lover, the former Gnarls Barkley frontman had one of the biggest hits of the year with his track, cruelly censored by the Auntie to 'Forget You.'
Titus Andronicus - A More Perfect Union//Six and a half minutes of epicness is the only way to describe this song. Three interchanging guitar solos from wild frontman Patrick Stickles, epic choruses leading into battle 'Rally around the flag' and an opening epilogue from Abraham Lincoln's Lyceum address, whilst remaining energetic and different throughout. Brilliant.
Fang Island - Daisy//The energy in this song will leave you bouncing around for hours on end, while the song will refuse to leave your head. A great track from one of the great finds of 2010.
The Black Keys - Tighten Up//Another band to find mainstream success in 2010, the Akron, Ohio duo kept their bluesly rock to the backburn, with the groove of hip-hop beats bringing out the hidden cool side to Dan Auerbach.
Surfer Blood - Swim//Ok, we're cheating here as it was actually released in 2009 in their native US, however across the pond we didn't get the album till January 2010, whilst it was released on Rough Trade in May.

theAmp's Albums of 2010
It's been another busy year in the music world, but there have been some gems been released and here's theAmp's pick of the bunch.
The National - High Violet//Although you could say it was somewhat an inferior comeback to 2007's excellent 'Boxer', album no.5 was the one to bring The National to escalating heights. The deep emotional lyircs of Matt Berginer, both feel uplifting and heartbreaking at the same time. A deserved placing into the mainstream for the hardworking New York quintet.
Titus Andronicus - The Monitor//The probable only way to describe Titus Andronicus is 'Bruce Springsteen brawling with The Pogues in 19th century America' however that will still only get you half-way there! The New Jersey literates once again bring their druken, punk energy to the front of their sound, which mixes from eccentric guitar solos, to slow, moving tracks. They probably recorded the most expansive album of the year, which was based on the American Civil War, featuring the readings of Abraham Lincoln, Walt Witman and even a bagpipe solo.
Arcade Fire - The Suburbs//Although an album with 16 tracks, does look like it would be filler material, Arcade Fire manage to somehow produce an album where every track is great. Unlike 'Funeral' and 'Neon Bible', where there were a few outstanding tracks sublemented with weak tracks, there is no weak track here on The Suburbs. A triumphant year for the Montreal band, with headline appearances at Reading and Leeds and a sold out arena tour, the pressure will be on them to deliver another masterpiece next time around.
Fang Island - Fang Island//"The sound of everyone high-fiving everyone" is how this energetic lo-fi band describe themselves, and with their energy and creativism it's hard to argue otherwise. It's been a year of the lo-fi revival, and while some bands have been bland, Fang Island have been a fresh air amongst the crowded market and certainly stood out.
Vampire Weekend - Contra//Contra seemed to have an adverse effect on Vampire Weekend. While it didn't ooze the same mainstream sound as their self-titled debut, it managed to propel them to new heights and went number one on the billboard charts in the native US of A. They experimented more than the previous with reggae, reverb and harps, but once again they lead the pack of chasers of their peers.

Christmas: The Sleighlist
Celebrate Christmas with some of Indie's finest and their take on the holiday....
The Futureheads - Christmas Was Better In The 80s//Sunderland's finest go all bleak on us with their offering, and despite the impressive christmas guitar jingle, well I still think Christmas was better in the 90s.
The Killers - Boots//Breaking away from his solo project, Brandon Flowers rejoins the Vegas boys for their annual take on Christmas. A hommage to Jimmy Stewart in 'It's A Wonderful Life', the bleak haunting sound gives an uplifting turn to how Christmas brings everyone together to forget their troubles.
The Walkmen - Holiday Road//A cover of Lindsey Cunningham's song from 1981, the boys give it a rockabilly Christmas moakeover. The guitars sound refreshing towards the bleak usual Christmas tune, whilst Hamilton Leithauser's vocals once again soars above everything else. A great tune to get you in the party mood.
Los Campesinos! - Kindle A Flame In Her Heart//Not as uplifting as their usual work, Gareth Campesinos just wants a kiss from someone under the mistletoe to make him feel better inside. Receiving a lump of coal from Santa instead of his favourite present, Graeth must have had it bad.
Best Coast & Wavves - Got Something For You//Bethany Consentino and Nathan Williams go all lovey dovey on us to celebrate the holiday. Soemone pass the sick bucket, I think I'll stick to watching shit TV and a traditional festive booze up.
Summer Camp - Christmas Wrapping/Anyone who thought the duo wouldn't be able to survive the freezing conditions, well they have and they've given us this delightful Waitress' cover. A relaxing take on everyone's feeling of being too busy for Christmas, it oozes of Christmas cheer.
Rage Against The Machine - Killing In The Name//Ok, it's not a Christmas song, however any song that keeps Simon Cowell's money juggernaut from the festive top spot deserves to be annually recgonized. Plus with the recent student protests, and overall hatred towards the Coalition Government, what better song would represent the feeling of 2010's Christmas.
Merry Christmas and enjoy the holidays.
