<\/p>\nAustin-based band Culture Wars have shared their shout-from-the-rooftops single \u201cTypical Ways,\u201d available to stream now on all DSPs worldwide.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Culture Wars layers guitars and stadium vocals on the band\u2019s hardest-hitting release to date about the cycle of addiction and falling into one’s typical ways. Vocalist Alex Dugan wrote the song as an angry letter to himself – its explosive, belt-worthy chorus showcases a level of emotion and angst all but lost in modern rock n\u2019 roll. The track comes on the heels of the band\u2019s supporting Mexico run with 2000s icons Keane and Asia stadium tours with Maroon 5, LANY, and The Script, where \u201cTypical Ways\u201d consistently received the loudest cheers from virtually every crowd, carving out a global presence for Culture Wars.<\/p>\n
Alex describes the song’s unexpected origins: “Typical Ways\u201d is a song that came out of thin air. Dillon came over and showed me a guitar riff and song idea he’d be working on, which I thought was cool but couldn’t think of anything to sing to it. However, overnight I had written the whole thing in my sleep and woke up the next morning immediately singing the entire verse and chorus in my head. I quickly recorded it to my phone and showed it to Dillon. Since then, \u201cTypical Ways\u201d has consistently been the biggest roar from the crowd night after night on every tour across the world, which gave us a pretty clear indication we did something right. The earliest song from the album, \u201cTypical Ways\u201d was written in Austin, TX and later recorded at Sunset Sound in Los Angeles. The song was written from a time before I met my wife when I was not in a good mental state. I consider this song to be an angry letter I wrote to myself.”<\/p>\n
In addition to releasing new music, Culture Wars will support LANY at their upcoming Taiwan performance at Kaohsiung Music Center on June 1st.<\/p>\n

Slated for 2025, Culture Wars\u2019 forthcoming album arrives ready to connect with a generation starved for authenticity and provocation in their rock bands. The group\u2019s energizing and unapologetically moving record a breath of fresh air full of ambition and pure intentions. As the band\u2019s name implies, seemingly disparate passions battle within the songs, somehow beautifully making peace. Combining the past, present, and future with bold swagger emphasizing mastery of actual instruments, Culture Wars oozes with honesty, ambition, and unabashedness built to resonate with diverse audiences. In 2021, the band released their widely praised debut EP teche, amassing 11 million+ streams independently, inciting a flurry of activity on TikTok, and charting top 30 at US alt radio. Highlights include tracks like \u201cFaith,\u201d \u201cLose Money,\u201d and \u201cLeave Me Alone,\u201d which was featured on the GRAMMY-nominated soundtrack for Bill & Ted Face the Music.
