Culture Wars Pen Angry Letter On Rock ‘N’ Roll Belter ‘Typical Ways’

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”

In addition to releasing new music, Culture Wars will support LANY at their upcoming Taiwan performance at Kaohsiung Music Center on 1st June.

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 energising 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 the 2020 Keanu Reeves & Alex Winter-led film 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.

Fans can expect more new music from Culture Wars this spring.
