Austin-based band Culture Wars have shared their
shout-from-the-rooftops single “Typical Ways,” available to stream now on all DSPs worldwide.
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’ roll. The track
comes on the heels of the band’s supporting Mexico run with 2000s icons Keane and Asia
stadium tours with Maroon 5, LANY, and The Script, where “Typical Ways” consistently received
the loudest cheers from virtually every crowd, carving out a global presence for Culture Wars.
“I wrote Typical Ways when I was not in a good mental state,” confesses Dugan. “I consider it an
angry letter to my former self”
Slated for 2025, Culture Wars’ forthcoming album arrives ready to connect with a generation
starved for authenticity and provocation in their rock bands. The group’s energizing and
unapologetically moving record a breath of fresh air full of ambition and pure intentions. As the
band’s 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 “Faith,” “Lose Money,” and “Leave
Me Alone,” which was featured on the GRAMMY-nominated soundtrack for Bill & Ted Face the
Music. The band’s recently released tracks “Heaven” and “It Hurts” (top 20 US alt radio) have
amassed over 10 million streams in just a few months, catapulting the band to new heights in
2025.
