Following up on the nuclear success of “Typical Ways”—its most massive hit to date with over 5M Spotify streams and counting—Austin-based alt-rock band Culture Wars is right back on the attack with a new single, “Lies.” This one is an anthemic track about the heartbreaking betrayal and lies of an unfaithful partner, showcasing frontman Alex Dugan’s dynamic vocal range.
The band’s highly anticipated forthcoming album, “If not now, when? ” (release date to be confirmed) is unapologetically bold and oozing with energy, filled with ambition and heartfelt rock anthems that clearly resonate with a new generation craving authenticity and honesty. With a masterful blend of emotional intensity and modern edge, Culture War’s Alex Dugan, David Grayson, Dillon Randolph, Caleb Contreras, and Josh Stirm are gaining serious traction in the industry and have now opened acts for some of the biggest names in music, including LANY, Maroon 5, The Script, Keane, The Cult, and Banners.
With over 23 million streams, a growing presence on TikTok, and a top 20 spot on US Alternative radio, Culture Wars is cementing its status as one of indie rock’s most promising new bands. The band is currently working on US and UK tour dates.
