When they perform at the Bandland festival in Bengaluru this month, American rock band The War On Drugs will be for many attendees what in music industry parlance is called a 'discovery act'. The group, helmed by singer, guitarist and composer Adam Granduciel, may not be as well known to Indian audiences as the headliners Deep Purple and the Goo Goo Dolls, but they're widely regarded as one of the world's biggest rock bands and have played several of its top festivals.
