Product Description
Their songs recall the 80s guitar army of Sonic Youth with the captivating lyrics and vocal stylings of Tom Petty or Bruce Springsteen. Walls of guitar - acoustic, electric, twelve string - douse each track of this debut, threatening to cast the band into space rock territory, but the melodies and immediately identifiable lyrics keep these songs grounded. It's one of those albums that each of us holds onto tightly. They get moved from apartment to apartment through the years; they're songs on the radio that follow us from town to town. They evoke waves of nostalgia and grow more poignant with each new bump along the road.
Album Description
Debut from The War on Drugs is the 2008 release of their album Wagonwheel Blues. According to Fader magazine, "The War On Drugs made a totally serious album, shimmering and sprawling- it's as inspiring as it is exhausting and dense." For vinyl lovers, if you order the LP, your package comes with a free poster and download code. 9 tracks. Secretly Canadian Records.

Great debut.... June 19, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This is an excellent debut from a band that will hopefully gain more exposure in the near future. The War on Drugs combine an Americana influence with a little bit of guitar experimentation. It's great summer music, and it totally kicks butt. It makes me smile every time I listen to it.
So far, the best album of 2008 August 23, 2008
It's quite difficult to articulate a review for this album, or to find the words to describe The War on Drugs. I do, however, believe that with a little exposure, this album is going to be getting a lot of attention. It really is just fantastic. It's original and subtly dramatic . "Taking the Farm" is, without question, one of the best songs of the year . "Wheelwagon Blues" will definitely leave you anxiously awaiting the band's next album.
