Good Old War - Only Way To Be Alone (2008)


[Acoustic/Folk/Pop]

This album has been stuck in my head ever since I first got it, It's just so damn catchy!

Good Old War are a trio made up of former members of the band Days Away. Their sound is a very upbeat, folky pop which is sure to make your day.

The lyrics and instrumentation are relatively simple, consisting mostly of acoustic guitars, some percusion and... well that's pretty much it. What's really complex though, is the groups vocal harmonies. Most of the songs contain 3-part harmonies, which allows all it's members to fully show their vocal potential.

One thing I really appreciate and love about these guys, are how down to earth they are. In most shows they'll just jump off the stage and stand in the middle of the crowd playing.
Here's a bit o' that:



Win.
