![]() The group's sound has been described as influenced by Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, and My Bloody Valentine. Reviewers of the band's music make note of its Americana overtones. Their debut LP for Secretly Canadian, Wagonwheel Blues, was released in 2008. The group gave away its Barrel of Batteries EP for free early in 2008. Granduciel had previously toured and recorded with The Capitol Years, and Vile has several solo albums. While Vile and Granduciel formed the backbone of the band, they had a number of accompanists early in the group's career, before finally settling on a lineup that added Charlie Hall as drummer/organist, Kyle Lloyd as drummer and Dave Hartley on bass. They began playing as The War on Drugs in 2005, and self-released a demo EP. Band member Adam Granduciel (born Adam Granofsky in Dover, Massachusetts) moved from Oakland, California to Philadelphia in 2003, where he met Kurt Vile and began playing music with him. ![]()
