Each of the songs in this post satisfies two requirements – the song must include the term “war” in its title and must be a song that we believe deserves much more attention that it is receiving. Some of the tracks have been part of earlier posts and some are being introduced to Indie Obsessive for the first time. The “war” requirement is an excuse for promoting the following songs or bands.
Dan Mangan and his group are based in Vancouver, Canada. The other members are Gord Grdina, Kenton Loewen, and John Walsh. There are a number or reasons to enjoy "Post War Blues," but our favorite is the frantic guitar that is first used at the 1:14 mark, but then trails off starting at 1:30. The song is arranged and produced well.

“The War” by Josh Record is about making a relationship work. As this London-based singer/songwriter states:
Don't give up on me yet, I will give you what you deserve.
Though our arguments are many, and your eyes are always sore,
I promise you we'll get there, this war is almost won.

Public Service Broadcasting is a musical duo, also based in London. J. Willgoose, Esq. plays the guitar, banjo, and other stringed instruments, while Wrigglesworth plays the drums and piano. Both members take samples from electronic instruments, old public information films, archive footage and propaganda material in order to provide an interesting blend of something current for the ears and something historic for the eyes.

Brown Shoe is a band from Folsom, California, a town well known in the music world because of Johnny Cash. It has become increasingly common for a band to include two brothers. But Brown Shoe has four:
Ryan Baggaley - vocals, guitar, keys
Bryson Baggaley - bass, drums
Aaron Baggaley - guitar, keys,
Landon Baggaley- drums
Bryson Baggaley - bass, drums
Aaron Baggaley - guitar, keys,
Landon Baggaley- drums
If you like "Bloody War," you should look for more music by Brown Shoe. We recommend "Colt Rider."

We have mentioned Amason before:
At least thus far, the best 2013 super group is Amason, Swedish-based musicians who have formed a Los Angeles-based band. The members are Gustav Ejstes (from Dungen), Amanda Hollingby Matsson (from Idiot Wind), Pontus Winnberg (from Miike Snow), and Nils Törnqvist and Petter Winnberg (from Little Majorette). Amason recently released “Went to War” and we were immediately obsessed.

Finally, there is Frightened Rabbit’s “Home from War.” This is a band with a much larger fan base in Europe than in the U.S. However, the U.S. fan base of the band is as loyal as that of any other band. They are headed to the U.S again, and we highly recommend that you grab the opportunity if one is available.
