Good Old War Offer Fans My Own Sinking Ship

04/23/2010
. Philadelphia indie rock Trio Good Old War premiered their latest single "My Own Sinking Ship" on their hometown radio station WXPN (www.xpn.org) on Thursday. The track is now available on the band's site as a free stream and download. Check it out here

The band is gearing up for the release of their self-titled second album, which arrives June 1st on Sargent House. They recently played several shows at the SXSW Music Conference in Austin, TX and completed a short run of dates with Circa Survive.

Good Old War's newest 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.
