The War on Drugs (4/12/14)

After a great show, seeing Arc Iris, we sprinted over to the Grog Shop to catch The War on Drugs. I knew would be a packed show (sold out) because theses guys have been super hot lately.  I’ve been a fan for a while, but this new album has been a treat.  Great rock & roll (despite all those loud-talkers).  Check out the I Rock Cleveland review below…

"When the War on Drugs hit a groove, they recall the big tent interpretation of American roots music that Wilco turned into an amphitheater and arena career. Granduciel has a drawl that gets an instant Dylan comparison. The keyboards, meanwhile, have that cathedral sound like Disintegration era Cura, a tone that meanders in the air long after the keys have been pressed. In this context the unit could steal a riff from the classic rock catalog, add reverb and echo and more reverb and more echo and the result can be both familiar and mesmerizing, and a sound that effectively shuts off all other senses."
