Young the Giant and Cold War Kids

Multi-platinum Southern California rock band Young the Giant has flourished over fifteen years, becoming a notable 21st-century group. Their sixth album, Victory Garden, was produced by Brendan O'Brien and marks a return to full band collaboration.

Cold War Kids, an American indie rock band from Long Beach, California, formed in 2004. Known for their raw energy, anthemic choruses, and blues-infused sound, they blend indie rock, blues rock, and blue-eyed soul. Popular songs include "First," "Hang Me Up To Dry," and "Love Is Mystical." "First" topped the Billboard Alternative Songs chart. Their discography includes the "New Age Norms" trilogy and the 2023 self-titled album "Cold War Kids". They were nominated for an MTV VMA and won a Webby Award.
