Don't Mention the War is a band from Hilversum/Amsterdam, the Netherlands. They've been labelled under "experimetalpunk", "experimental alt-rockers" and what not. Truth is, labels don't apply, so fuck it.

Starting out in 2005, after an inter-railing holiday, the band recorded a long-forgotten 5-track demo and proceeded to gig around Holland. After some personnel changes, the band has arrived upon its current line-up, and has since been gigging anywhere and everywhere they can be heard, storming venues in Holland, Denmark and Belgium, and in 2010, will embark upon a full European tour to support their debut E.P., entitled Whack-a-Mole, alongside Irish grindcore rascals I'll Eat Your Face, with many more supports each night!
Combining such disparate influences as The Dillinger Escape Plan, Converge, Tool, Battles and even Santana, Don't Mention the War are a truly original shot in the arm for rock music. Blending heavy, chaotic outbursts with thoughtful experimentation, all the while never giving less than 100% on stage, Don't Mention the War simultaneously honour their influences while moving forward in a direction all their own. A band truly not to be missed! « Minder
