Talk:Cold War Kids

Christian band?
After 142.151.167.42's edit I looked for sources on whether CWK is a Christian band. The first relevant source I found is pitchfork's review of Robbers and Cowards, which states that they are not a Christian band. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Veatch (talk • contribs) 23:26, 2 April 2007 (UTC).
 * From what I heard, they are religious. But that doesn't necessarily mean they are a "religious band"... Scott 20:31, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
 * ooh, snap! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.255.62.183 (talk) 16:01, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

It is my understanding that some/all of the members went to Biola U (Bible college) in CA, but are not marketed at a quote-Christian group. Not unlike the marketing plan of a band like Switchfoot...or Jonny Lang. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.247.13.119 (talk) 18:55, 16 December 2010 (UTC)

I also looked for sources on whether or not Cold War Kids label themselves a Christian band. I have been unable to locate any. I felt that the original wording of the paragraph on religion suggested Pitchfork called the band "skinny-jeaned Christians" because they had attended Biola University.
 * "In 2006, the influential music blog Pitchfork dubbed the band "skinny-jeaned Christians" after members of the band revealed that they had attended Biola University,..."

I could not find any reputable articles that linked these two items together. I expanded the Religion section hoping to offer a more balanced viewpoint and to add in sources. Storylanding (talk) 19:54, 3 April 2011 (UTC)

I just wanted to suggest a correction. Biola University is not in Los Angeles. It is actually located in La Mirada, which is on the border between L.A. and Orange counties. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.127.1.211 (talk) 06:35, 24 July 2011 (UTC)

I'm looking at the reference that indicates that they went to Biola and they are dead links. HOWEVER, even more interesting, I am finding articles that reference both Biola and Loyola Marymount University, also in Southern California. Did all three members attend both universities? That would be odd. Did some attend one and some attend the other?

They went to LMU: https://www.theguardian.com/music/2007/feb/02/popandrock5 https://www.amoeba.com/cold-war-kids/artist/137355/bio https://www.westword.com/music/vintage-qanda-with-nathan-willett-of-cold-war-kids-5682271

They went to Biola: http://chimes.biola.edu/story/2011/feb/13/cold-war-kids/ http://chimes.biola.edu/story/2014/oct/21/cold-war-kids-latest-release-feels-right-home/

Page layout...
Anyone know how to fix the dodgy layout? From the 'notable performance' heading onward the width of the content is very small. Removing the images on the right stops this, so they must be the problem. Do they have some bad code in them? I don't know how those special bits work. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Svivian (talk • contribs)
 * I moved the images to a separate gallery, which has helped. --cholmes75 (chit chat) 23:54, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

please don't use terms like 'dodgy.' that is very uncool. why are people asses? 72.255.62.183 16:24, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

I agree. 'Dodgy' is awfully rude. Where do you get off???!!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.115.7.122 (talk) 00:09, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

Please don't use terms like 'uncool', and 'asses'. And 'rude'. Thank you. 'Get off' is also questionable. --Oolong (talk) 23:58, 18 May 2009 (UTC)
