Pretty War has one goal: good songs. A focus on live energy and connection between these four friends is what really gives their music its flavor. Rooted in alternative/indie rock; there are no limitations and no boundaries with influences of funk, Latin, pop, jazz, hip hop, folk, and any other style of music that gives the right vibe.

The instrumentation of Mark Hopkins on guitar/vocals, Jon Maurer on keys/vocals, Ryan LaHam on bass, and John Robert Buell on drums allows for infinite creativity to get the proper sound for the song. Clever songwriting, embracing spontaneity, and allowing the moment to dictate where the music takes you allows the band and audience to experience a unique sonic journey together every time this group hits the stage. Whether it is one of their tunes sharing personal feelings, thoughts on the world around us, or a story about a damn good time, you can be sure that these performers know how to supply just that - good times for all.
