The War on Drugs is a folk rock band from the "City of Brotherly Love", Philadelphia (Greek: from philos "love" and adelphos "brother").
They are a indie band in the truest sense: they play mostly small, local venues, hold rent-paying day jobs and embrace the ideal of DIY.
Recently the band has signed with "Secretly Canadian Records" and is currently in the process of recording their debut album to be released later this year.
Meanwhile they're offering an EP "Barrel of Batteries" as free download for a limited time which you can access by clicking here.
It's a really great EP containing 5 demos showcasing the band's Dylan-esque folk songs as well as a few short ambient pieces.
