Culture Wars Returns with Stirring New Ballad ‘Lies’ and a Renewed Sense of Purpose
Austin-based alt-rock band Culture Wars has just released their latest single, “Lies,” now streaming on all major platforms. The emotional, 90s-inspired ballad arrives as the band enjoys a massive 2025—racking up millions of streams, climbing the charts, and playing arena shows with Wallows, Keane, and LANY.
With over 5 million streams on their breakout single “Typical Ways” and their latest track “It Hurts” charting in the Top 20 at U.S. alternative radio, Culture Wars is quickly becoming one of the most talked-about new names in rock.
“Lies” is a raw and powerful anthem about the emotional fallout from infidelity and the struggle to trust again. The track highlights frontman Alex Dugan’s incredible vocal range and heartfelt lyrics, backed by soaring instrumentation that blends intimacy with anthemic energy.
The release of “Lies” comes ahead of two major headline shows in Los Angeles and New York City this October. Tickets are on sale now.
Even bigger news: the band’s debut full-length album is expected in 2026. Described as a record made to connect with a generation craving real emotion and fearless storytelling, it promises to be their boldest project yet.
Listen to “Lies” now and grab your tickets for Culture Wars’ fall shows in LA and NYC.
