The War on Drugs

On February 28, 2012, The War on Drugs performed live at the Electricity Ballroom in London, showcasing their distinctive blend of heartland rock and psychedelic indie sounds. At this point in their career, they had recently released their acclaimed album 'Slave Ambient' in 2011, which played a significant role in shaping their signature style, characterized by dreamy guitar riffs and introspective lyrics. This performance is often highlighted for its raw energy and emotional resonance, reflecting the band's growing reputation in the indie music scene. Interestingly, 'Baby Missiles' – a standout track from 'Slave Ambient' – captures the essence of their sound, and hearing it live adds a layer of urgency and connection that studio recordings simply can’t replicate. Fans at the concert were treated to an intimate experience with a band that was on the brink of wider recognition.
