- Twenty years ago, Cold War Kids introduced their distinctive blend of soulful storytelling, blues-infused indie rock, and unforgettable melodies to the world with the release of their acclaimed debut album, Robbers & Cowards. Fueled by the breakout singles “Hang Me Up to Dry,” “We Used to Vacation,” and “Hospital Beds,” the album earned widespread critical acclaim, peaked at No. 173 on the Billboard 200, and launched a career that has since generated more than one billion streams worldwide and established the band as one of the most enduring acts in modern alternative rock. To celebrate the landmark album's 20th anniversary, Cold War Kids are prepping a special expanded edition of Robbers & Cowards for release later this year that will feature several songs written during the album's original era that were left unfinished at the time and have now been newly recorded by the band.
