Cold War Kids - Research Page

This page consists of research into the band Cold War Kids. Here you will see some of their previous music videos and general information about the artist that I have researched.

The video attempts to show a variety of locations and the relationship between people.

We may have to incorporate this into our music video

The narrative of the video is generally positive and suggest that life is limitless, coinciding with the title 'restless'. This shows the conventions of the band being generally positive which may have to be considered in our piece

What does the group look like?

From this video we can take the involvement of the artists within the narrative which we want to include in our video.
