Cold War Kids, 'Behave Yourself' (Downtown)

What: A couple years ago, these fresh faced Californians charmed the blogeratti and faced the burgeoning hype -- and subsequent backlash -- that swirled around their every mention as Robbers & Cowards, the quartet's collection of raw, soulful and bluesy chant-along jams, proved a ubiquitous feast for music fans.
