War Chile

Salem, Virginia based rock band War Chile released their eponymous debut album on August 1, 2023. War Chile is a seasoned band of four established musicians, one and all a stalwart of their instrument and sound. They are Brian Gray on guitar and vocals, Henry Lazenby on lead guitar, Jay Gladden on bass, and Mason Jennelle on drums. Their playing is layered and fluent, moody and exacting, cogent and cutthroat, but most impressively, it’s never pretentious, never austere, and always in service to the song. There are no extravagant solos, desultory flourishes, or inadvertent shifts. The song is king. If The Stooges are raw power, War Chile is curated power.
