Feel right at home with the sounds of Philadelphia’s The War On Drugs, who’re coming to Bunk Bar in Portland this coming Tuesday. We saw them with Destroyer back in March, and while you may get the Petty and Springsteen influences on the record, be prepared to feel the band come into their own live. Tickets are only $10, and for that price you also get to see openers Purling Hiss and Carter Tanton. So make up for any cases of the Mondays on October 25 and stay tuned for coverage of the show in case you miss it in person!

“Mindkilla” is awesome. I’ve got this music video last week and really impressed through watching every performance particularly “Glass Jar”. Thanks dude. :)

So jealous! I picked up (and quickly became obsessed with) the new album a few weeks after they hit Boston. Do go early. Carter Tanton is one of Boston’s little known gems. Wow, that sounds corny, but it’s true.
Also, Purling Hiss is a really gross band name, and I’m thus determined never to listen to them.
