Trivia
* Tim Arnold and Keith Goodwin were in
Days Away .
* Singer Keith Goodwin also appears on the song 'Left Coast Envy' by The Starting Line.
* Goodwin also appears on "Lover, the Lord Has Left Us... ", the second album byThe Sound of Animals Fighting .
* The story behind how band got the name Good Old War was detailed in a Myspace blog post.So we started out just calling this project Keith Dan & Tim - KDT for short. Then we picked the name Castles - but a bunch of other bands are called Castles and when we asked people what names they liked a lot of people just said KDT representing our three first names. Well we took our three last names but figured if we called it Goodwin, Arnold & Schwartz we sound like a law firm - so we took pieces of each and hence our new name is born: GOOD OLD WAR.
which pretty much also represents our feeling about the struggle in making music so we are throwing our hats into the GOOD OLD WAR again and can only hope people will enjoy the music we make.
much love
