Culture Wars blend the energy of ’90s rock with a modern edge. Their upcoming debut album, Don’t Speak, rides the same wave of nostalgia, and they’ll be performing it live on July 19, 2026, at the Bike Jesus club.

Just as in the band’s name, their music features a clash of contrasting passions that ultimately come together beautifully. Behind this synergy are five musicians—Alex Dugan, David Grayson, Dillon Randolph, Caleb Contreras, and Joshua Stirm—united by a shared vision.
Success doesn’t come overnight, and Culture Wars are no exception. They waited ten years for their moment to prove to the world that they have something to say. Their patience paid off, as they’ve already toured with stars like Maroon 5 and the American indie duo LANY.
They garnered significant attention with their very first EP, teche (2021). The track “Leave Me Alone” appeared on the soundtrack for the film *Bill & Ted Face The Music* starring Keanu Reeves. The entire soundtrack was then nominated for a Grammy Award, which brought the band further attention, and the single made it into the Top 30 on the Alternative Rock chart.
Their upcoming debut album, Don’t Speak, set for release on April 10, is packed with a sound that won’t leave anyone indifferent. No samples, just honest guitars, bass, and drums. “We’re reinvigorated with a sound we’d aimed toward for a long time,” says singer Alex Dugan.
