About Me


Contact:(booking and otherwize) [email protected]
The Cold War Veterans hails from Boise, Idaho. We are made up of three or four members. We have no CD's for sale yet. We have been a band for a short four months, but are already touring. They've been called a mix of the Misfits and Suicidal Tendencies. Taking punkrock and slowly fuzing metal into it. The Veterans are their own genre. They will be playing your town, stealing your babies, and eating ice cream with you. God Bless America; Kill The Commies.
