Our staff picks of the week:

@KRBronson recommends: Cold War Kids wind down to the end of a big year with a show Thursday at the Regent Theater behind their new album “Hold My Home.” Avid Dancer, definitely a band to watch for 2015, opens.

@Seraphina_L recommends: Kurt Vile & the Violators play an intimate show at the First Unitarian Church on Friday. Also on the bill: Little Tybee and Air Review.
