Cold War Kids are making their way downtown. No, not Chicago, New York, or Seattle-- that's old news for the tour-crazy four-piece. This October, the buzzed-about band will release their debut album on Downtown Records, home to Gnarls Barkley, Art Brut, and Eagles of Death Metal.

Robbers & Cowards will feature 12 tracks, all which have been played on the road within the past year. Cold War Kids are on tour now, hitting up Lollapalooza this weekend and festivals in Norway and Iceland in the coming months.
