With the release of teutonically sober single "SOS" (streaming) Brooklyn electro duo Color War is announcing the release of their debut album "It Could Only Be This Way," scheduled for March 2014. There’s something reminiscent of (very) early Simple Minds in these guys’ compositions, in the melodies and sometimes even in the use of the electronic arpeggiators. Hopefully the band won’t hate us for saying this, since Jim Kerr’s band ended up becoming one of the symbols of cheesy late 80s arena rock. But their first 3-4 albums (unknown to the masses) kick asses and sound incredibly original. Besides, I’m sure they wouln’t mind a career as long and rewarding as theirs…
