Although the members of Cold War Kids met at evangelical college Biola University, they insist that they are not a Christian band. Matt Maust says "We are Christian in the same way that Johnny Cash is Christian."
Cold War Kids lead singer Nathan Willett says one of the boldest things the band has ever done was play right before Metallica at a festival in Belgium. The crowd was full of passionate Metallica fans and most of them didn't care to see Cold War Kids. Willett says the band just took it with a grain of salt and tried to go onstage and have some fun.
Cold War Kids started in 2004 in Fullerton, California in guitarist Jonnie Russell's apartment above a restaurant. The eatery was called Mulberry Street and the band used the name for the title of their first EP.
