Afghan Whigs

The Afghan Whigs are an American rock band from Cincinnati, Ohio, United States. Originally active from 1986 to 2001, they have since reformed. The group – with core members Greg Dulli (vocals, rhythm guitar), Rick McCollum (lead guitar), and John Curley (bass) – rose up around the grunge movement, evolving from a garage band in the vein of the Replacements to incorporate more R&B and soul influences into their sound and image. After releasing their first album independently in 1988, the band signed to the Seattle-based label Sub Pop. They released their major-label debut and fourth album, Gentlemen, in 1993. Pitchfork described them as "one of the few alt-bands to flourish on a major label" in the 1990s. Dulli frequently claimed in interviews that the band would never get back together following their dissolution in 2001 but the group reunited in 2012.
==Links to Peel==
Peel played the band's debut single in 1989 and would often play their material until 1992. Although Peel didn't play tracks from their debut major-label album, Gentlemen, in 1993, he nonetheless invited them to do a session for his show in 1994. After that, no tracks from their subsequent albums were played.
