Death Cab For Cutie kicked off their almost entirely sold-out tour at Toronto's at-capacity Sound Academy on Sunday night to a crowd ranging from decade-long fans to braces-faced kids who either raided their older siblings' record collections or still love The O.C.'s Seth Cohen.

Cold War Kids Overcome Fatigue And Critics Supporting Robbers And Cowards

When Cold War Kids sort of sleepily rolled into Toronto's Mod Club, rubbing their hands trying to catch a bit of warmth in the unseasonably cold April weather, I thought, "Hey, why not ask the clearly sleep-deprived guys if they're enjoying their tour and all the exhaustion that goes with it?"
