Following the streaming triumph of “Typical Ways,” alt-rock powerhouse Culture Wars returns with another gut-punching anthem titled “Lies.” This emotionally charged single tackles the anguish of betrayal and deception in a relationship, driven by frontman Alex Dugan’s raw, soaring vocals. It’s a track that combines honesty with high-octane musicality—classic Culture Wars territory.
The Austin-based band, composed of Dugan, David Grayson, Dillon Randolph, Caleb Contreras, and Josh Stirm, is building serious momentum. Their upcoming album If not now, when?, still awaiting an official release date, promises to be an unapologetic, bold fusion of emotional storytelling and modern rock energy—crafted for a generation hungry for truth in music.
Culture Wars has already racked up over 23 million streams and made waves on TikTok, all while holding a top 20 spot on US Alternative radio. They’ve earned spots as opening acts for music heavyweights like LANY, Maroon 5, Keane, The Script, The Cult, and Banners. With a distinct sound blending past and present rock influences, their music is grounded in authenticity, strong guitar work, and a fiercely loyal fanbase.
From their early days of viral tracks like “Faith” and “Lose Money” to their GRAMMY-nominated feature on Bill & Ted Face the Music with “Leave Me Alone,” Culture Wars has steadily evolved into one of the most promising bands in the indie alt-rock scene. With “Lies,” they’re not just singing—they’re striking a chord with every broken heart and honest listener out there.
