The War on Drugs

On June 15, 2014, The War on Drugs delivered a captivating performance at the Northside Festival in NYC, right around the time they were basking in the glow of their critically acclaimed album, 'Lost in the Dream.' Released just a few months earlier, in March 2014, this album showcased their signature blend of heartland rock and introspective lyrics. During this live recording, you can really feel the energy and evolution in their sound, as the band was gaining traction and a dedicated following. Interestingly, 'Lost in the Dream' marked a pivotal moment in their career, propelling them from indie darlings to a more mainstream audience. It’s fascinating how this live set fits perfectly in that transitional phase, embodying their lyrical depth and rich, layered instrumentation, leaving fans as spellbound as they were with the album.
