Alternative powerhouse bridging the gap between ’90s guitar grit and modern pop
CULTURE WARS is an Austin-bred, Los Angeles-based alternative powerhouse bridging the gap between ’90s guitar grit and the cinematic polish of modern pop. Driven by “song-first” authenticity, the band rejects the hyper-digitised landscape of modern rock in favour of real instruments and collective chemistry.
Their highly anticipated debut album, Don’t Speak (arriving April 10th), delivers a high-octane, genre-blending sound that fuses surf-rock pulses and ’80s synth textures into arena-ready anthems. With nine tracks from the album already amassing millions of streams, their one million monthly listeners are primed for the full project’s release.
Since their 2021 EP teche, Culture Wars has maintained an explosive upward trajectory as a formidable self-managed unit. Their relentless passion earned them coveted opening slots for global giants like Maroon 5 and LANY, momentum they have since converted into a powerhouse headline presence.
Having already sold out iconic venues in New York City, Los Angeles, and London, the band enters this album cycle as a proven global draw, ready to lead the next generation of guitar-driven alternative music.
