Culture Wars Pen Angry Letter on Rock n’ Roll Belter “Typical Ways” | To Support LANY in Taiwan in June | New Album Coming in 2025


Austin-based band Culture Wars have unleashed their explosive new single “Typical Ways”, a fiery anthem of self-reckoning now streaming worldwide. Written by vocalist Alex Dugan as an angry letter to himself, the track blends brooding intensity with a belt-worthy, angst-fueled chorus, reclaiming the raw emotion often missing in modern rock.

Fresh off a Mexico tour with Keane and massive Asian stadium shows with Maroon 5, LANY, and The Script, Culture Wars have been making waves globally. “Typical Ways” consistently drew some of the loudest cheers of the night, solidifying the band’s presence on the international stage and proving their electrifying sound resonates across generations.

“I wrote Typical Ways when I was not in a good mental state, I consider it an angry letter to my former self” – Culture Wars

Set for 2025, Culture Wars’ forthcoming album is primed to connect with a generation craving authenticity and bold, emotional storytelling in rock music. The band’s signature fusion of past, present, and future influences—anchored by real instrumentation and raw ambition—creates a sound that is both nostalgic and forward-thinking. As their name suggests, contrasting forces collide within their music, yet the result is a striking, cohesive vision that thrives on tension and honesty.

Since their 2021 debut EP, teche, which amassed 11+ million streams and landed a track on the GRAMMY-nominated Bill & Ted Face the Music soundtrack, the band has been steadily rising. Their recent singles, “Heaven” and “It Hurts”, soared into the top 20 on US alternative radio, racking up 10+ million streams in just months. With their momentum surging, Culture Wars are poised for a breakout year, redefining modern rock on their own terms.
