One of music’s defining and most enduring soul and funk groups, WAR was founded in Long Beach, CA. In 1970, producer Jerry Goldstein united a seven-piece band with former Animals lead singer Eric Burdon, an alliance which would go on to produce the #1 worldwide hit, “Spill the Wine.” 55 years later, this chapter in WAR’s hit-making history has now been reassembled  and meticulously remastered by award-winning engineer Bernie Grundman, honoring this “barrier-breaking collaboration from a trail-blazing era” (Classic Rock). 

Having recently kicked things off with a performance at the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, WAR’s anniversary celebrations extend all throughout 2025. On February 7th, the band will release Live In Japan 1974 – their first live album to feature all seven original members in 50 years – and this summer, they will receive their star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, with dozens of tour dates in between.
