The War on Drugs Tickets

With a sound that has been compared to

Bruce Springsteen

and Dire Straits, but is still all their own, The War on Drugs has been one of the most addictive rock bands in recent years. Although the band has been around since 2005, it has seen the most success through much of the current decade.

Rock-a-Philly

The War on Drugs was started by friends Adam Granduciel and Kurt Vile while they were living in Philadelphia. Other musicians eventually joined the duo on bass, drums and organ. Following the release of the band's debut album,

Wagonwheel Blues

, Vile elected to leave, as he was more concerned with getting his fledgling solo career off the ground. Much of the

Wagonwheel Blues

lineup had left by the time the band's second album,

Slave Ambient

, had been released. However, the strong critical notices such as a Best New Music designation from

Pitchfork

, meant that Granduciel was still developing into one of the most intriguing songwriters in the indie rock scene. This was proven even further with the release of

Lost in the Dream

in 2014. One of the most acclaimed albums of its release year, the album fused heartland rock songwriting with shoegaze sonics. The acclaim and commercial success of this album got The War on Drugs noticed by major label Atlantic Records, who they joined for a two-album deal. The first album of the deal was the band's most recent 2017

A Deeper Understanding

. There's no sign that being on a major label has caused the band to compromise its sound, as

A Deeper Understandng

is as complex as anything that The War on Drugs has made. It has also done extremely well, peaking at No. 10 on the

Billboard

Top 200 chart and winning a Grammy for Best Rock Album.
