SXSW 2012, Day 3: The War On Drugs

Mar 16, 4:59pm KEXP Blog
SXSW 2012, Day 3: The War On Drugs photos by Jim Bennett Philadelphia band The War on Drugs was formed in 2005 by Adam Granduciel and Kurt Vile. Vile, of course, has pursued a successful solo career, but The War On Drugs have continued churning out soulful, road-weary Americana, led by Granduciel moaning vocals, a spot-on rhythm section, a delicate, organic guitar lines. 20112s acclaimed Slave Ambient is the band's first full-length release since 20082s Wagonwheel Blues , and with a reputation for moving live performances, we couldn't be happier to have them playing at Mellow Johnny's.

South by Southwest Journal: Volume 2

Mar 16, 1:13pm Frontier Psychiatrist
South by Southwest Journal: Volume 2 Austin Texas - Live Music Capital of the World Strolling through Austin on day two of our visit, we realized that South by Southwest is something of a Woodstock for the 21st century, in the sense that it is a cultural event that perfectly encapsulates its era. Whereas Woodstock represented a time of love and unity and drugs, "South By" (as the locals call it) represents a time of apps and diversity and stuff. Moreover, it represents an era of supreme accessibility, both spatial and temporal: bands from all over the globe mining sounds from every [...]

My favourite albums of 2011 (#18 The War on Drugs - Slave Ambient)

Mar 14, 6:30pm Asleep on the compost heap
My favourite albums of 2011 (#18 The War on Drugs - Slave Ambient) Aaaaaaaand just in case you thought I had forsworn music with guitars entirely, take a look and see. #18 The War on Drugs - Slave Ambient I once read a theory in some Brit literary magazine that one main differentiating factor between American and British literature is the physical geography of both countries. It's an easy enough theory to buy into on a basic level, I suppose, when you consider vast [...]

South by Southwest 2012: A Daily Guide

Mar 9, 1:29pm Consequence Of Sound
South by Southwest 2012: A Daily Guide Sticking to your schedule at South by Southwest (SXSW) takes discipline and heaping portions of luck. You better swallow this pill now: You will not be able to see all of the bands you want to see, even if you are trying to be conservative with your schedule. Think about the fact that every year in Austin the crowds get bigger and bigger, yet the venues stay the same size. Clubs and bars will hit capacity faster than ever this year, so it's time you have some back up options, and some outlying parties to check out. [...]

War on Drugs at Electric Ballroom review

Mar 9, 7:55am SoundsXP
War on Drugs at Electric Ballroom review In 2008, at the nearby Dublin Castle pub, a small crowd of about twenty people watched The War on Drugs ; now four years and two albums later there are over eight hundred eager fans waiting to see them emerge onto the Electric Ballroom stage. A very welcome trajectory for a mighty fine band. Their last London gig at Cargo was marred by terrible sound problems but hopefully the only unpleasant noise we'll get tonight is the grotesque mumbling of ticket touts (one work force that seems to be weathering the Financial Crisis intact). When the [...]

I C A ROBOT COMING/IN ITS HAND A SHINY THING

Mar 6, 1:31pm Winnie Cooper
I C A ROBOT COMING/IN ITS HAND A SHINY THING Look. Listen. As Elections Canada investigates allegations of widespread election fraud and subversion of democracy via 'robocalls' to voters that provided misinformation about where to vote (in some circles politely referred to as 'voter suppression'), imagine a robot with a human face. One with greying hair, and a smug, somewhat vacant expression alternating with a faintly bemused smile: a robot that knows something you don't. Picture this robot sitting on the edge of his bed as naked as a robot can be and, having carefully unscrewed his robot junk from his crotch, even more carefully sealing these balls [...]

Live: Eulogise All Hippies. The War on Drugs, Electric Ballroom.

Mar 5, 12:00pm Dots & Dashes
Live: Eulogise All Hippies. The War on Drugs, Electric Ballroom. Casually strolling into Camden's delightfully rubbish Electric Ballroom, expectations could be charted at moderate to low as we failed to buy into the hype surrounding The War on Drugs' latest album, Slave Ambient. Brief chats and musings passed before a chorus of whoops and cheers heralded the arrival of a live act set to prove our preconceptions to be woefully misplaced... From the get-go, Adam Granduciel & co. have the crowd nodding and swaying in appreciation as the sheer happiness of tonight's opener Buenos Aires Beach creates an ambience of love [...]

The War On Drugs – Dublin

Feb 29, 4:00am State Magazine
Hot on the heels of last Sunday's visit by fellow traveller Kurt Vile to the same venue, Adam Granduciel's The War on Drugs roll into town. First of all, it has to be said: what a great name for a band. Is that The War on Drugs, or The War on Drugs? The one minute Hollywood pitch for this band would doubtless go: 'It's Bob Dylan fronting the Velvet Underground', a tracing of influences amply evidenced by the drawled lyrical nods to the Little White Wonder 's songbook of 'thousand miles behind' to 'One Too Many Mornings' [...]

The War on Drugs - Brothers
So we typically toss a video onto a post when highlighting a new band or a show preview or something and let you draw your own conclusion about it. Sometimes we throw a change-up... strike that - let's call it a round up. Most of these videos are of bands we have previously talked about here on Draw Us Lines, so we won't be telling you much about those bands themselves, just some musings that really aren't worth a damn. If a picture is worth 1000 words, then a video must be worth a million. Hold on to your hats! [...]

The War on Drugs

Feb 28, 4:39am The Grapevine
A few years back I took a roadtrip across the United States. I used to think I'd get Ry Cooder in to score the resulting footage but after tonight I'm thinking Adam Granduciel would be the better choice. His particular brand of neo-Americana is perfect for the leftover, nostalgic images of being on the road. Dusty highways, wild abandon and faded blue jeans coalesce perfectly with his laconic drawl, buzzing guitar solos and drifting harmonica lines. The War on Drugs open their set with 'Best Night' and [...]

KURT VILE, THE WAR ON DRUGS, REAL ESTATE [MONDAY THREESOME]

Feb 27, 11:25am the WILD honey pie
Kurt Vile | Baby's Arms | A Take Away Show
This installment will examine a trio of artists who have all worked together in the past and all released exemplary records in 2011, each rooted in a similar sonic landscape. All three albums relied heavily on a consistent vibe of textural, layered, and interlocking guitar melodies, often soaked in a smoky, reverb-laden haze. I've always been drawn to records that sound cohesive and timeless - this threesome nailed that concept. Jesus Fever - Kurt Vile // Buy Kurt Vile [...]

Soundtracking: Your Winter (II)

Feb 24, 6:47am Draw Us Lines
Soundtracking: Your Winter (II) Words by Jacob Barron I say this to people around me enough to make them reconsider hanging out with me, but dammit, just pick one, winter. This year it's been either annoyingly mild or heart-stoppingly freezing outside, at least in Baltimore. In a weekend it'll both top 60 degrees and dip below 20. Which is it, winter? Hot or cold? Make up your damn mind so I can put my t-shirts away. Winter, at least this year, is a season that's aggressively trolling us all with unseasonable warmth coupled with arctic [...]
