Philadelphia Indie Rock Trio Good Old War To Release Second Album

Indie rock trio Good Old War will release their self-titled second album June 1st on Sargent House. The band will play several weeks of dates supporting Circa Survive, beginning March 11th in Carrboro, North Carolina and wrapping up March 24th in Cleveland, OH. Along the way the band will stop off in Austin, TX for three performances at the SXSW Music Conference. They will appear at the Bamboozle festival in New Jersey in May.

Good Old War's sophomore release is the result of several winter months spent holed up in a remote house in the Pocono Mountains, where band mates Keith Goodwin, Dan Schwartz and Tim Arnold crafted this earnest, original collection of songs in near-isolation. The album explores weightier topics such as love, loss and addiction, and the band experimented with new instruments, techniques and conventions to push the boundaries of their familiar indie rock/folk territory.

Since their conception two years ago, Good Old War has shared the stage with The Gaslight Anthem, Heartless Bastards, Anthony Green, RX Bandits and The Honorary Title. Their single "Coney Island" enjoyed Triple-A airplay and the video was in heavy rotation on MTVu.
