The L.A. quartet Cold Showers sound like their name - a kind of questionably-effective, hopeless detox from something that hurts so good, and for which you just can't stop yearning. We were really impressed by the handful of singles they released last year, and here's another, "The Fire," which'll presumably back an upcoming 73 called Still Life . Listen, probably most effectively past midnight in the rain with the lights aglow on the street outside, as the band transmute shoegaze's walls of sound and morose lyrics into something all their own, thanks to that irresistible, rollicking kraut-y drive.

Nothing like waking up to a new Cold Showers song that is as pregnant with self-doubt as the rest of their catalog. This is a band that does insecurity well—not quite romanticizing it so much ... read more
I never did get to the garden center yesterday because Gracie and I went to the dump. She saw me bringing trash to the car despite my stealthiness and got quite excited at the prospect of going to one of her favorite places. I couldn't disappoint her so off we went. When I got home, I sat for a bit and that small break drained me of any ambition. It was around two, and I was sitting on the couch reading and sweating because yesterday afternoon was about 84˚. Why in the heck am I sweating thought I so up [...]

Bir şarkıyı sevip sevmediğime 20 saniye içinde karar verebildiğim sanrısıyla yaşıyorum uzunca süredir. Bir insanı sevip sevmediğime karar vermem de aşağı yukarı aynı süreyi alıyor. İnsanlar konusunda pek yanılmıyorum ama şarkılarla ilgili karar vermek daha zor. Daha çok sorumluluk gerektiriyor. Daha çok sabır. Cold Showers 2010'da Los Angeles'ta kurulmuş, post-punk ile shoegaze arası ring seferi yapan dört kişilik bir grup. Cömert ve tansiyonlu gitarlar ile karanlık synth'lerin gerdiği fonu, saatin tiktakları kadar kesin davullar ve bas gitar ayakta tutuyor. Jonathan Weinberg' ün gizemli vokali dinleyeni yakalayıp, yüksek binalar arasında neon ışığıyla aydınlanmış caddelerde gezdiriyor. [...]

lauren everett From the hills of Highland Park come the bellowing vocals, bright guitars and industrial synth of post-punkish Cold Showers—a band featuring members of La Sera, Bleached and All Saints Day that fuses decades of pop darkness with L.A.’s lo-fi dreams. The band’s first full-length, Love and Regret, was released in October after more than a year on the shelf. We met up with the band at a Mexican restaurant on York Avenue after a four hour–long practice in singer Jonathan Weinberg’s garage. They play Sunday at Part [...]

Frank Yang So this is the first time in nine years that I am NOT in Austin for SXSW; reasons for this are myriad, but the broad strokes can be inferred from this . So while this means rather than embarrassment of concert riches to choose from, my live music options amongst bands not deep in the heart of Texas were decidedly shallower, but still pretty great - after all, Veronica Falls were back in town. It was at SXSW 2011 that I first made the acquaintance of the Anglo-Scottish quartet, [...]

Openers Cold Showers' bass broke literally a few seconds into their set. He went on to borrow a bass from Veronica Falls, and the showed carried on. The band crept around in cave-like darkness not revealing much but the oft-hand silhouette or shadow. There was an uncanny likeness to Joy Divison for the dark-nature of their post-punk rock, with a emphasis on heavy bass-work and persistent pounding drums. Veronica Falls released new album Waiting For Something To Happen last month and it's a great listen. The band were up in spritis, [...]
UK indiepop four-piece Veronica Falls played Johnny Brenda's last night, on tour in support of their new record Waiting for Something to Happen. Joining them was New York's Juan Wauters and Cold Showers. Check out scenes from the show in the photo gallery above. Continue reading

![[Listen] Cold Showers: "BC" (tb Remix)](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4786193_lg.jpg)
Hace algún tiempo Cold Showers presentó el vídeo para su estelar sencillo " BC ", el cual se desprende de su álbum debut titulado " Love And Regret ", y la verdad debo decir que me frustró un tanto el hecho de que hayan cortado la duración original de esa canción para el vídeo, ya que es una de las mejores cosas que aparecieron durante el año pasado, y que muy pero muuuy extrañamente han estado pasando un poco desapercibidas. Pero bueno, durante el fin de semana la banda compartió este excelente remix de "BC" al mando de [...]

A few months ago, we posted " BC ," an ominous track from synthy Los Angeles postpunkers Cold Showers. The song's new video, from director Brian Davila , has some of the '80s L.A. noir in it, and the YouTube description mentions The Hunger , Society , and Night Of The Comet . (I'd throw Miracle Mile and To Live And Die In L.A. in there, too.) It's all smeared neon, blank faces, and general overhanging menace, and you can watch it and download the song below. Read More...
Desde hace algún tiempo había estado circulando un vídeo bastante bueno de Cold Showers ejecutando " BC " para Room 205, así que como no les había venido a dejar aquel extracto de su sesión, el día de hoy la aparición del vídeo oficial de este excelente extracto de su álbum debut me viene como anillo al dedo para invitarlos que escuchen este material titulado " Love And Regret ", que si bien no vendrá a cambiarles la vida, si les brindará un muy buen momento a cualquier hora del día. Sin mas, solo piquenle play aquí abajo [...]
