Good Old War is a band I had heard about my freshman year at BW. My friend Emily, who was the Promotions Director at the station at that time, had set up an interview with the band. They actually came in and did an in-studio and I was there for the interview and everything. The night before the interview I had listened to them on MySpace and I was like "oh okay, they're pretty good". I saw them performing right in front of me the next day and I was blown away. They are now one of my favorite bands.
Good Old War consists of 3 guys, Keith GOODwin, Tim ArnOLD, and Dan SchWARtz. They're a folk/indie band from Philly. Keith and Tim were actually in Days Away before Good Old War formed. I've seen them a few times and each time I see them they are so great!! They're energy on stage is awesome. The last time I saw them (I think it was this past fall at the Grog Shop) they did more of an acoustic set. They will also actually come down into the crowd and sing, no mics or anything, just sing with the crowd. It's awesome.
They all sing and harmonize with each other, too. Dan is one of the best guitar players I've ever seen.Oh yeah..they're recording a new album right now too. :) They have a ton of stuff on YouTube. Below are 2 of my favorite videos.
