DOWNLOAD: The War On Drugs - "Baby Missiles" (MP3)
The War On Drugs at Webster Hall in April (more by Amanda Hatfield)

The War On Drugs are releasing Slave Ambient on August 17 via Secretly Canadian. In support of the new album, the band is going on a North American tour with Caveman. The tour hits NYC on August 19 at Cameo Gallery (tickets) and August 20 at Mercury Lounge (tickets), though note that the Mercury show is the only date on the tour where Caveman is not currently listed as an opener (nobody else is either).
Caveman are also supposedly playing the Northside Festival, and play a Rocks Off Cruise on June 25 with Hollis Brown. Tickets are on sale for the boat show.

@10:28 I like Vile and TWOD, but I can't figure how Vile broke out while TWOD are still playing Mercury Lounge. TWOD definatley has some of the best American songwriting at the moment. really underrated band
