The War on Drugs

In April 2015, The War on Drugs performed live at the Georgia Theatre in Athens, a pivotal moment in their career. This concert took place shortly after the release of their critically acclaimed album, "Lost in the Dream," which had dropped in March 2014. This album marked a significant milestone for the band, as it showcased their signature blend of rock, shoegaze, and heartland influences, bringing them wider recognition. By the time of this live recording, they were riding high on the success of "Lost in the Dream," which helped solidify their status in the indie rock scene. Interestingly, the band's frontman, Adam Granduciel, noted that the album was largely inspired by his personal experiences, which added an emotional depth to their live performances. The April 2 performance is an intimate glimpse into their creative evolution, just as their popularity began to soar.
