According to this report in Billboard, and this mention of it in the Wall Street Journal, The War On Drugs have signed a two record deal with Atlantic Records.

The band, touring to the largest audiences in their career, have been on the road since the release of their recent album, Lost In The Dream in March, 2014. The signing further elevates Philly as “Rock’s First City” as Michael Tedder recently pointed out in a lengthy story about the rising Philly music scene in Stereogum.

We couldn’t be happier for the band and wish them continued success. Below, watch The War On Drugs perform “Under The Pressure” from a WXPN Free At Noon they performed on March 14th, 2014.
