Watch: The War on Drugs play Fallon ahead of European tour

By Paul Bridgewater, 11 January 2012

The War on Drugs brought some Philly rock ‘n’ soul to US TV Network NBC last night with a mind-blowing performance of the standout track from 2011′s Best Fit Fifty-ranked long player Slave Ambient.

Performing on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon alongside the Questlove-led house band, front man Adam Granduciel’s cascading ballad ‘Baby Missiles’ gripped an entire studio with its epic Springsteen-esque refrain and backup from two drummers.

The War on Drugs hit European shores in mid February for a bunch of dates with support from Sharon Van Etten and White Rabbits.
