The War Doves

The War Doves emerged as a fourpiece band, not realizing the kind of song writing 'freakout' their early gatherings would ensue. This Band uses your traditional 2 electric guitars, drums and bass to convey simple musical ideas with the complexities of blood and sweat soaked arrangements, timbres, aesthetics. The War Doves combine violently different worlds in strikingly coherent and sensitive ways. Lyrically coated with as Much Friedrich Nietzsche as it is with the perils of someone that constantly chooses to take the modest route in life, The War Doves lyrics have a tinge of bitterness mixed with objective self awareness and positive knowledge. TWD's (The War Doves) Discuss topics and themes from bad break-ups, to buddhist philosophy, to global warming, energy policy and the boom/bust housing market. The War Doves have been told they resemble the best aspects of the past 20 years of indie-rock history combing organic 'live in a room' sounds, percussion and energy, with tonal and precise electricity conducting instruments. Taking music in its rawest sense and arranging it in ways that gives a soundbite to hard work and steadfastness (something the music industry is lacking these days) TWD's strip off the fat from contemporaries like 'Band of Horses' and 'Wintersleep', and add a dash of classic 'Kinks' and 'Sunny Day Real Estate', with an even more reserved portion of modern heavy weights 'Radiohead' and 'Queen's of the Stone Age'. This band can sing you to sleep with an acoustic guitar as well as rock you through the doors of the nearest bar. The War Doves are apart of a growing network of guitar totting rockers that craft heartfelt tunes with a bit of a purpose. Surviving the cold winters of Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada only to relish in the dry dusty summers, this four-piece are equally as catchy and 'riffy' as they are intelligible and vocally captivating. They've recorded 11 songs that are currently being mixed by Jace Lasek of the Besnard Lakes (jagjaguwar) on the same record console that mixed Led Zepplin. Having shared the stage with such acts as 'Black Mountain', and 'Cut Off Your Hands', and having toured with 'Fucked Up' - Matador Records, The War Doves 'clans' are prepared to break you out of your personal Jail cell one show, one record at a time!
