About The War on Drugs

The War on Drugs is a Philadelphia-based rock band led by Adam Granduciel, known for blending Heartland rock with hazy, layered synthesizers, reverb-drenched guitars, and Dylanesque vocals. Their sound evolved across acclaimed albums like "Lost in the Dream" (2014) and "A Deeper Understanding" (2017, Grammy winner), merging classic rock grandeur with dreamy psychedelia.
