The album is loaded with songs whose greatness is revealed slowly, where the simplest, most understated chord change can blow a track wide open and elevate it from simply pretty to absolutely devastating.

Why see The War On Drugs?
The War On Drugs hits the open road
Philly natives The War On Drugs mix the delicate angularities of Indie-Rock, Americana, Shoegaze, and Post-Punk Psychedelia to form a new kind of American Rock, the frontier of which they share with Young, Dylan, Springsteen, and Knopfler. Unafraid of catchy hooks, driving guitar rhythms, and a synth pad or two, the band's heartland sound evokes Kerouac's open road with a Prog twist. They now hit the road themselves on another tour of the US.
They now hit the road once more in Summer 2023 to head on a new tour of the country, don't miss the chance to see them on their limited dates.

Great but too loud
The band was great but after I lost my hearing and vision from the fantastic light show. Basically WOD came out sounding like an arena band at the little Rialto. I loved it anyway. It was a fun night. Thanks for coming to Tucson Adam. You are incredible as well as the rest of the Band. ... Read more

First time experiencing TWOD
To be clear I am a big fan, and love the "I don't live here anymore" This album has spoken to me deeply and was really excited to go see them perform live in a small venue. The show was incredible opening with my favorite "old Skin" which speaks to my new 2.0 me. I defiantly have shed my old skin. My overall impression was that it was hit all the senses, the lighting was spectacular especially on HARMONIA'S DREAM and UNDER PRESSURE. I found the volume just a bit to high for the venue which left me missing some of the guitar notes. In spite of that I decided to go again tonight to see you again. Is I said, I a big fan and love the way this music speaks to my being. See you tonight. ... Read more
