The War On Drugs, “among the defining rock linchpins of the 21st century so far” (New York Times), have steadily emerged as one of this century’s great rock and roll synthesists, removing the gaps between the underground and the mainstream, between the obtuse and the anthemic, making records that wrestle a fractured past into a unified and engrossing present. Led by Adam Granduciel, The New Yorker called them “the best American ‘rock’ band of this decade” in support of their album A Deeper Understanding, for which they won the 2018 Grammy for Best Rock Album and were nominated for a BRIT Award for International Group of the Year, following the band’s breakthrough Lost in the Dream, which was the most critically acclaimed album of 2014. Their fifth studio album, I Don’t Live Here Anymore, “chips away some of their hazier edges in favor of sharper melodies, broadening the borders of the meticulous yet joyously simple sound [Granduciel] has perfected” (Pitchfork, Best New Music). The record landed on numerous 2021 best albums of the year lists and garnered second GRAMMY and BRIT Award nominations. 2024 saw the release of Live Drugs Again, (the second in the series after 2020’s Live Drugs) via Super High Quality Records. Recorded on tour between February 2022 through December 2023 in America, UK, Europe and Australia, Live Drugs Again represents The War On Drugs at their ragged, righteous best, supporting Consequence’s rave “it’s hard to imagine a musical experience that’s more enveloping and uplifting.”
