Cold Cave tour North America, warming up hardcore fans

Cold Cave isn’t just a derogatory name for callous women, but is also a synth-pop band fronted by Wesley Eisold, ex-hardcore vocalist of Give Up the Ghost, Some Girls, and American Nightmare. Fans of Eisold’s past scene bands may want to listen to the band’s latest effort Cherish the Effort (TMT Review), which was released on Matador not too long ago and received a swell score from TMT.

Eisold will have some other performers help him bring the music to the live setting this summer with a gigantic tour. You might still be bitter when your New Age-loving friend Benji tries to drag you to a Cold Cave concert, but maybe it is you who should take a long look in the mirror. Times have changed, man.

My advice: throw away any misconceptions about hardcore musicians softening, and try sticking your hand into the Cold Cave. You might just come out with something warm, sticky, and sweet. Remember, dancing is just a more mature version of moshing.
