Good Old War is a newer band made up of former Days Away members including vocalist Keith Goodwin. The overall style falls somewhere in between folk/acoustic and mellow rock. The entire album is acoustic, much like what Northstar did with their new band Cassino.

There is a good chance you missed this record because you didn’t realize the quality or you just missed the coverage, either way, this post is meant as a second chance to discover a band and an album that has the potential to make a lot of people’s top 10 list for 2008.

Days Away was unique in that their fans loved them and talked about them contently but they weren’t actually that well known. Keith and Tim from Days Away have since started a new band called Good Old War, which is something people may want to pay attention to. The band has their heels firmly dug in the acoustic/folk/rock arena which is a wonderful thing as Keith’s voice works perfectly.

One For The Team is a recent addition to The Militia Group stable of recording artists (movie reference anyone?) and although some of the songs on their myspace page are a bit rough, you can definitely see the potential this band has.
