It's been a few months since we last mentioned Good Old War, but with their album Only Way To Be Alone still hot in the presses and the recent signing of the group to The Agency Group, it's time for some more news on these guys.
The switch from Days Away to Good Old War left a lot of fans wondering whether we would hear an album from the group in the first few years in existence, or even if they would aim a bit higher than local shows. Now with The Agency Group aiding the band, extensive tour dates have been promised for the new year to compliment their debut album, which released in September.
Only Way To Be Alone differs from what frontman Keith Goodwin previously did with Days Away by eliminating synthesized sounds while maintaining an authentic strolling acoustic guitar. The multiple layers of pleading lyrics behind the mic from all members, the folk inspired drum tapping in the background and a couple of guitars hold together a smoothly strung-together folk rock album.
Good Old War has been pleasing fans and media across the country since their early recordings together, and due to this success Fuse is highlighting the group on their site while offering the mp3 below for free. The song features Anthony Green as well as Dave Davison from Maps and Atlases.
For more info on the breakup of Days Away to the installment of Good Old War, check out our article from January. Apparently they were thinking of naming the group Castles, but that just didn't stick.
