Out Nov 4th 2008!
Hitting stores everywhere on November 4th, Only Way To Be Alone, is the debut release from Sargent House's Good Old War. Having played for quite some time as Anthony Green's backing band, as well as in their own musical endeavors, Good Old War has pulled a musical 180 with this album.
Not to be lumped in with the slew of recent indie turned country/folk artists, Good Old War makes no attempt to assimilate its music for the sake of novelty. There’s no fake twang in Keith Goodwin’s soft vocals, nor does the band try to overindulge itself by adding sounds by the harmonica or mandolin just for the sake of having them. Instead, the guys retain the intimate storytelling nature of folk-song structure, playing music for those who desire an emotive, lyrical experience without having to wade through pretentious or unnecessary musical gimmicks to get it.
Already garnering major radio attention, Good Old War's latest single, Cony Island, has also been in heavy rotation on MTVU and FUSE, having won the MTVU "Freshman" award! They very well may be the best band you just haven't heard yet...
Only Way To Be Alone is now streaming in its entirety on PureVolume - Good Old War on purevolume™!
