The War on Drugs

In March 2014, The War on Drugs showcased their enchanting sound in a live performance of "Suffering" at KEXP in Seattle. At this point in their career, they had just released their critically acclaimed album, "Lost in the Dream," less than a month prior, on March 18, 2014. This album marked a pivotal moment for the band, as it elevated them from a niche favorite to a broader audience and garnered significant accolades. The lush, layered soundscapes and introspective lyrics in "Lost in the Dream" perfectly set the stage for their live performance. Fun fact: the band’s frontman, Adam Granduciel, has often expressed that these live sessions enable them to connect on a deeper level with their fans, making performances like this one not just a showcase, but a genuine emotional experience.
