THE WAR ON DRUGS (Philadelphia, PA)
The War On Drugs are a fresh face that already sounds like an old friend. Bringing a dose of the West Coast to the hard streets of Philadelphia, their songs recall the ‘80s guitar army of Sonic Youth, the captivating lyrics and vocal stylings of Tom Petty and the sheer inventiveness of Neutral Milk Hotel.
The War On Drugs point toward a tireless horizon in the distance that you will never reach but are compelled to chase. Guitars soar and colourful clouds roll past whatever sun or moon you are cruising under, through whatever old bar you are reveling within.
The War On Drugs debut album Wagonwheel Blues, due for release in June, is the best thing we’ve heard all year. Fact.
The War On Drugs push the boundaries of American music.
