Cold et University Drive

Being nostalgic from an early age, I was incredibly upset when I first discovered Cold on YouTube and realised that they had disbanded in the year 2006. The moment I found out that they were reuniting and promising both a tour and new albums, I immediately sought to find a spot where I could see them perform live. After watching so many concerts on YouTube, the real thing was a whole new level of fantastic. I saw them in Florida, at the Central Florida Fair this year, and there could not have been a more perfect addition to Saliva's main set. Cold has this almost unattainable quality where they constantly leave you wanting more, and they work so well in tandem with each other that you can't help but become addicted to their sound. My personal favourite is Scooter, mainly because of his rough, Pearl Jam-style vocals, perfect for the post-grunge feel that the band emulates. Their songs are so powerful, they get right through your skin and you can't help but want to headbang and sing-along to every hit track. They of course played two of my favourites: 'American Dream' and 'Wicked World', and the atmosphere generated by these classic hits from a newly reformed group was just unforgettable. These are guys full of energy, and you could tell from watching them on stage that they're not quite done with music just yet.
