On August 1 Philadelphia-based rockers The War On Drugs performed live in the studios of Seattle radio station KEXP. The War On Drugs played four songs for the session and professionally-shot video of the entire set was shared today.

Frontman Adam Granduciel led the group through tunes off the recently released A Deeper Understanding, the follow-up to 2014’s Lost In A Dream. The War On Drugs started the set with “Pain” and continued with “Holding On.” From there, TWOD performed “Strangest Thing” and ended the short set with “You Don’t Have To Go.”
