Good Old War (Official Thread)

[mycuban]

So i searched for a thread for these guys but found nothing and they are more then deserving of one, so here it is!!!

[Burn That Shit]

Coney Island is so damn catchy.

[mycuban]

Agreed, their whole record is just amazing!

[Charles777]

BUMP.

I just got this album and am blown away.

[thesafeword]

The song after Coney Island sounds like a Death Cab For Cutie song. Or at least the beginning.

[ThePartialGlow]

Simon and Garfunkel imitations abound...which isn't a bad thing necessarily. "Gonna have myself a dog..."

[bowl of oranges]

Awesome band. And thank you, above poster, for recognizing the Simunkel similarities. I said that a while ago in a thread and people attacked me.

[GuitarR0cker1]

Coney Island is the only song from these guys that I listen to on a regular basis.

[Charles777]

Coney Island is the only song from these guys that I listen to on a regular basis.
Have you heard the rest of the album?

[GuitarR0cker1]

Have you heard the rest of the album?
Yeah of course, I think it good stuff. I just have never really had the desire to put it on lately.

[AlternateToLife]

Is this really all that's been written on these guys? Well I'm a big fan. And also wanted to post this

KdtNDGJtQ1o

From when they opened for Gaslight a while ago

[shit stroll]

Coney Island is the only song from these guys that I listen to on a regular basis.
yeah, same with me. song is so good.

[mycuban]

the people that only listen to Coney Island on a regular basis should see them live, it will change your view on the rest of the album, it did for me and now i can't get enough of all the songs.

[Montauk1222]

Excellent band

[Thomas Nassiff]

agreed! i saw them live before i had ever heard the record. so i went out and bought it and these guys are one of my favorite bands now. the songs are all amazing, coney island is the catchiest but my favorite is stay by my side. these guys might be the best harmonial vocalists today, it reminds me of good lord---crosby, stills, nash, and young. as well as simunkel but they were originally influenced by crosby, stills, nash, and young so you cant really count that.

these guys are great and i am sincerely disappointed to see only 15 or so replies in this thread

[michelle182]

Holy shit. So stoked that they have a thread here. I saw them when they opened for Straylight Run and had no idea who they were, but I fell in love with them after they played. So so good live and really energetic. And they're extremely nice to the fans. Amazing amaaaazing music.

[TSLROCKS]

Love this band. Weak Man is probably my favorite of theirs. So stoked they're making a new full length. Anyone know if it'll be out before the end of the year?

[Thomas Nassiff]

i know theyre trying to get out the vinyl for alone way to be alone within the next couple of months, it seems unrealistic to me that theyll be able to be get another album done by the end of the year as well

[christopher™]

anyone have a rip of my own sinking ship?

i saw them a few weeks ago and all three of them went into the bathroom with a guitar at the marquee and did some warmups in there. probably some of the most beautiful harmonies i have ever heard. haha

[muttley]

Falling in love with these tunes. Was Only Way To Be Alone ever released on vinyl?

[mycuban]

Falling in love with these tunes. Was Only Way To Be Alone ever released on vinyl?

to my knowledge not yet.

I might see them in Chicago at the end of the month, but Built To Spill is also playing that night so i don't which to go to but they are fantastic live.

does anyone know when they're gonna put the new album out, it was supposed to be an EP but they just decided that they would make a full length, and that's the last i heard, well hopefully some news about it pops up soon.

[tigersontrains]

"Only Way to Be Alone" is a masterpiece. I can't wait until they release some new material.

[wuduprod]

saw them open for the gaslight anthem on my 21st birthday. it was awesome. solid band.

[quicksilv001]

I'm going to see these guys live today with the Honorary Title. Really excited.

[emericagal182]

i really wish i could see them on this tour with the honorary title. they were so good when i saw them with the gaslight anthem.

[captainamazing4]

gotta say that this is one of my favorite bands pretty much ever. i have a hard time not listening to this album at least once every day

[recall reality]

I saw them a couple of weeks ago at ECSC with about 20 people, Friday afternoon turnout I guess. Such a wonderful band.

[muttley]

I'm going to see these guys live today with the Honorary Title. Really excited.

I want to go, but I can't find a ride. :-(
God damn Buckeye for being in the middle of fucking nowhere.

[emericagal182]

it my favorite album to draw to by far

[captainamazing4]

agree on all fronts

[quicksilv001]

Their show was amazing, they actually came into the audience for 3 songs and I got to sing "Tell Me", "Looking for Shelter" and "Coney Island" with them. All the band members were really chill and I'll going to see them again for sure next time they stop by Arizona.

[ShimmerAndSpill]

Saw them a little over a week ago, such a great show, we got to chill with them in their van afterwords too. Such a perfect night.

[mycuban]

So they announced today that they were putting a Split EP out this December with Cast Spells, and if you go to their twitter they say that the new full length should be coming out in early 2010, they are currently recording it.

[TakeLotsWithAlcohol]

Why is this thread so small?

[Charles777]

No idea.

[muttley]

So stoked for the LP.

[ShimmerAndSpill]

I'm stoked for anything these guys do.

[quicksilv001]

Only Way To Be Alone is the perfect CD for a drive.

[Markus1186]

saw them here a couple weeks ago, sunday afternoon show. Soo good.

[captainamazing4]

[ShimmerAndSpill]

Me and my friends hung out with them in their van after their show here with The Honorary Title. It was great. /swtbrag

They sang and played their cover of "Cecelia" on the ukulele.

[Charles777]

That's awesome

[HometownHero]

Fuck that is really lucky. I have yet to see them but really want to. Stoked for a new record

[Markus1186]

They are doing a split with Cast Spells that will be out December 2nd :-)

[amplifire]

I've loved watching this band grow more and more popular over recent months. They totally deserve it.

[tragedyco]

great band, they should play with the guy from self against city's new band Tin Can Notes. I think that would be a good fit.

[ikikwe]

Their new album is so great.

[FranktheDrummer]

New video from Good Old War for "My Own Sinking Ship"

http://musicforperfectpeople.wordpress.com /2010/05/10/video-good-old-war-my-own-sinking-ship/

[cshadows2887]

So these guys are quite awesome.

[Two Headed Girl]

Anyone ever noticed that Keith looks just like Charlie Day from Always Sunny http://www.tvguide.com/images/pgimg/always-sunny-charlie-day3.jpg http://goodoldwar.com/site/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/keithsite.jpg

[takeiteasy_]

Dude is a good dancer.

[Eva Friedman]

I just got back from seeing their in store performance at Best Buy. Amazing. Their harmonies are always perfect pitch wise. They were also selling the new CD and vinyl. Definitely one of my favorite bands.

[klaz]

Aaaanyone else see them in Hoboken tonight?

[TakeLotsWithAlcohol]

Dude is a good dancer.

The best dancer. haha

[wall e]

I just realized that along with being a good summer band, they are also a good autumn band

[Charles777]

Fixed.

[wall e]

I'm ok with that

[Sylar]

Just found out about this band and am loving everything I hear from them.

[takeiteasy_]

Just heard "We've Come A Long Way" on 16 and Pregant. Interesting!

[wall e]

They are currently doing a live show, opening for Liz Phair if anyone else wants to listen in

Nope, I don't!

On another note, I'm going to see GOW headlining tonight at the TLA! I'm pumped.

[Crackbaby]

I knew those guys existed for a while now, because Anthony Green is always tweeting that these guys are awesome. I listened To Calling Me Names and I think I'm gonna start listening to this band.

[darkjak22]

It makes me proud to have been a fan since they started. Back in 08 when they were just KDT, then Castles, and finally GOW.

I remember as soon as Keith had that video for the acoustic Days Away song "God and Mars" that somethin' good was comin' with him goin' for this style.

[thesollopsist]

I knew those guys existed for a while now, because Anthony Green is always tweeting that these guys are awesome. I listened To Calling Me Names and I think I'm gonna start listening to this band.
Do it! Start with their debut though.

[A7XXX]

Pre-order packages are up! I feel like splurging on that deluxe bundle

[Crackbaby]

Okay these guys really are awesome. Thanks Anthony Green!

[A7XXX]

I was not aware that they will be the backing band for Anthony Green solo tour. That just give me enough incentive to buy ticket for the show.

[PredictParallel]

The fact this band has done as good as they have, gives me hope for music today. More harmonies like this, always. Please?

[delvec19]

Leaked!

[jordalsh]

I love Come Back as Rain
