Anyone listen to "The War On Drugs" band? Probably: formed in 2006 but new to me

I just heard them for the first time on WXPN (song: Baby Missiles), then immediately downloaded their Future Weather album. I don't know how to categorize their music other than to say Indie/Americana/Alternative rock. There is a close vocal comparison to Dylan on some (particularly on Brothers), but there are Dire Straits and Springsteen influences throughout. It is dense music, but melodic and does not belabor the point at hand.

Me too. Their stuff has been on my Squeezebox for a couple of years now.

You might Kurt Vile's (the singer/guitarist) solo work. Check out Smoke Ring for My Halo.
