Best band of the 21st century

Absolute killer band. Drummer is awesome and really holds and binds everything together brilliantly. Intense but restrained when needs to be. What a band. What a band. x

Deep dive into this band. I discovered them about a month ago and can’t stop listening to them.

This band is absolutely the best. I first picked them up 7 years ago. I have not been able to put them down, since

This version of "You Don't Have To Go" is the best I've heard. Wow.

I love the song Holding On. I love it, I love it, I love !!!! I love Adam's voice!!!!! I love War on Drugs songs!!!!

This is honestly the best thing I've ever seen

Never heard of them until 3 weeks ago.....haven't played anything since .

the performance is so perfect. Every little detail heard on their records can be heard in their live performances. I saw them live in London's O2 rather than in my hometown Dublin Ireland where the gig was outdoor. I will never forget it. I have played their songs so often that I know every little nuance. They are simply amazing musicians, and Charlie's drumming is absolutely mesmeric. My world is a better place for their music. Brilliant.

it's absolutely insane how this band sounds. saw them at the O2 in Dublin recently. unbelievable. I could almost headbang while crying at the same time. Weird. No other band makes me feel what their music do.

The drummer isn't only keeping time, he's dancing it.

Holding on: 0:11 Pain: 7:23 In Reverse: 12:40 You Don’t Have to Go: 19:12

The beauty is in the simplicity. But yet its also very complex and layered. Beautiful work.

I came across this band about year and half ago. They are now on my top 3 all time favorites 🙂

every time i hear these songs, whether i'm all alone, at one of their amazing shows or in the middle of a library i just wanna yell, "YESSSS!!!"

I was there! What an incredible experience! Thanks, KCSN & Sky Daniels, for the opportunity to see this fantastic band, up close & personal! Unforgettable!

Adam is from my home town Philadelphia. I think I met Adam long ago. He is humble and beautiful. Please don't change your down to earth ways. Holly wood KILLS

There is so many things happening in all the songs of The War On Drugs, THERE’S FUCKING SIX PEOPLE PLAYING ALL AT THE SAME TIME I JUST LOVE THEM SO MUCH

I’ve listened to this band since around 2010 and finally saw them live 2 weeks ago in Liverpool. I’m still riding the euphoria of that night.

Had the pleasure of watching these guys play The O2 in London last night. Wow what a band live, absolultey brilliant, pure talent and passion for what they do.

Discovered this band when The Barr Brothers cancelled their gig I was going to, to support these guys, so checked them out. Couldn't believe what I was hearing, OMG, they are brilliant !!!! The gig was great !!!! So addicted !!!

Pain is such a damn good song. Glorious.

The version of in reverse is absolutely fantastic

Never get tired of listening to this music it put you in a different world all by myself

This is the best live version of In Reverse I've heard, chills...Thanks to the sound guy great job

Well I’m a little late to get into them but damn the more I listen to them the more I love them!! I’m 61 and they remind me of a lot of the music i listened to in the 70’s with a new twist I look forward to finding out more about them.

I love this band! Brilliant performance. Also, props to the sound guy!

Any group with a bari sax is ok in my mind! And seriously, they're much more than just ok. Such a quintessentially American sound.

This is an excellent performance. You Don’t Have to Go is flawless. “Take you into the niiiiiight…”

soundtrack of my Life!Thx WoD

First heard of them 1 month ago, now I'm a great fan of them from BUDAPEST, HU!!!! Can't stop listening to them!!! Great musicians, real emotions!!!

Damn. Never heard "In Reverse" before and when they started playing it I would've bet anyone $100 they were covering "Waiting on a Friend" by the Stones

I first heard their music over the speakers in hmv, asked who it was and bought their 4 cos. John c.

From the inception of this band they never disappoint with their music they are so talented and gifted and with all of that they are so cool many thanks for the great music 🎶 from Tobago ❤

brilliant just brilliant luv em xxxxx star

Not sure what emotion I feel with these guys. Can anyone tell me? So much joy but not just that, a serious love of heart.

it takes so much work to SOUND like this. Practice, kids!

In reverse is so so good

I cannot wait to see them live in October!!!!!!

It wasn't until after A Deeper Understanding that "In reverse" became one of my favorite songs of theirs. That song is chilling live.

Amazing band.

Goosebumps

OMG that Gretsch but the way Adam plays it! And the entire band, I just love these guys, can't wait to see you all again, more than 3 times is never too much to see you guys. And this is my favourite song in addition to a whole bunch of other favourite songs...and in reverse, I'm moving.

Fantastic performance! Nailed every song

Great sound!

Fantastic, beautiful, incredible good

The only problem with this performance is how short it is.

Great to be in the company of Real Pro's. Thank You!

This band is so good, both on disc and live. Love it! Looking forward to see them live this September in Boston!!

got to love the faces the drummer does ahahah

Sounds Amazing! perfect!

Excelente, en vivo son fieles a su disco. That´s Great!

Love it!

Now THIS - this here, is a band.

soundscapes galore

Love the bass lines.

Why does nobody understand how UNBELIEVABLE the fucking bass is .....?!!

Excellent video of an excellent band! Thank you!;-)

A cross between Neil Young , Bob Dylan , Tom Petty and someone else I can't put my finger on.? Love it.

At the end of Disappearing the harmonica sound reminds me of Bruce Springsteen My Beatiful Reward from MTV Unplugged

Killer Performance!!

Brilliant!

Adam's pretty funny. I don't think the audience quite got it though.....his joke about giving a tour. I thought that was pretty slick and cute. I love how polite he is, always thanking them at the end of the songs. Really refreshing! Terrific band! They have such a nice, amazing, melodic sound. I haven't been so impressed by a band since I "discovered" Queen (who I am totally addicted to!) a few yrs ago. I know TWOD is Queen's polar opposite, but I just love their music too.

This band really works out on me¡¡

Awesome band!!!! The solo guitar in "Pain" make me chicken skin, Please come to Argentina!!!!!!

-------Disc of the year, Indie,no one better,see you in St Paul,again, October at The Palace,great guitar,as all know!!

Can't wait to see these guys at somepoint.

It hurts my shoulders just to look at that drummer!

Diese Band ist die Entdeckung des Jahres 2020

Started hearing this band waaaay back. I prefer live preformances, so lively so beautiful

The bass ❤️

Não conhecia a banda... som nota 10!!!

Fou de ce groupe depuis 3 mois. Il n'y a pas de hasard pour les vrais amoureux de la vraie musique

Excellente group, it's a discovery. It's a little Jackson Browne...It's good very good

This makes me want to get a Jazzmaster.

Muito sonzeraaaaaaa.

Great version of 'Pain'

Seeing them tues in the Atl !!

Pain … es hermosa .

One Day our paths may cross again... MEE Laban Ray...daughter... Keep reaching those kids old and new...utube it up... I always knew M

so fucking good !!!

Yes me like it a lotty

Some of their songs remind me a band that I was addicted to and still love them after 20+ years.... Gin Blossoms... They're not so similar but kinda like Bod Dylan+Gin Blossoms.

So this is what they've been playin on hall today Sha says, "they're just havin fun"

Philly Kensington lives on.

how can someone dislike their songs?

nice !!! Love it!!! 💚💚෴❤️෴💚💚

how can you not like this music,wtf is wrong with those 5 onlikes,guess they are not having any kind off understanding for good music.

I really enjoy the drummer. He has that kit but he doesn't use the shit he has. Only the same beat over and over again, he can put some fills or whatever so things get a little "gucci" on parts. Otherwise I fucking love them and their music! Thank you!

I'll have what Charlie's having

Ace

I really like this band its just such a shame they got into the loudness wars on the recordings, hopefully they can be remastered to remove the serious clipping.

18 nov milan!!!
