One of the most adventurous bands of the 1970s, War blended soul, Latin, jazz, blues, reggae, and rock influences into an effortlessly funky whole.

Five of their classic early albums have just been reissued.

We'll hear two standout War tracks today, alongside new work from Wellington psych-pop band Mirror Ritual and pungent Auckland producer, Stinky Jim.
