The War On Drugs is an American rock band from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Formed in 2005, the band consists of Adam Granduciel (vocals, guitar), David Hartley (bass guitar), Robbie Bennett (keyboards), Charlie Hall (drums), Jon Natchez (saxophone, keyboards) and Anthony LaMarca (guitar). Founded by close collaborators Adam Granduciel and Kurt Vile, The War on Drugs released their debut studio album, Wagonwheel Blues, in 2008. Vile departed shortly after its release to focus on his solo career.
With a captivating blend of rock and folk influences, The War On Drugs has gained critical acclaim for their unique sound. Led by the talented Adam Granduciel's vocals and guitar skills, the band creates music that resonates with listeners on a deep level.
Since their formation, The War On Drugs has continued to impress audiences with their powerful live performances and thought-provoking lyrics. Their dedication to creating meaningful music has earned them a loyal fan base around the world.

The band's first album since 2014's universally acclaimed Lost In The Dream, and their debut album with Atlantic.

For much of the three and a half year period since the release of Lost In The Dream, The War On Drugs' frontman, Adam Granduciel, led the charge for his Philadelphia-based sextet as he holed up in studios in New York and Los Angeles to write, record, edit, and tinker—but, above all, to busy himself in work. Teaming up with engineer Shawn Everett (Alabama Shakes, Weezer), Granduciel challenged the notion of what it means to create a fully realized piece of music in today's modern landscape. Calling on his bandmates – bassist Dave Hartley, keyboarding Robbie Bennett, drummer Charlie Hall and multi-instrumentalists Anthony LaMarca and Jon Natchez -- continuously throughout the process, the result is a "band record" in the noblest sense, featuring collaboration, coordination, and confidence at every turn. Through those years of relocation, the revisiting and reexamining of endless hours of recordings, unbridled exploration, and exuberance, Granduciel's gritty love of his craft succeeded in pushing the band to great heights.
