 | | The Afghan Whigs then signed to a major label, Elektra Records, and released another critically acclaimed album, Gentlemen that failed to break the band into the mainstream, though it spawned the minor hits "Debonair" and "Gentlemen". | | | In 1990, Up in It was released; this was followed by the critically acclaimed 1992 album Congregation and a covers EP, Uptown Avondale. | | | They contributed "Fountain and Fairfax" to the soundtrack for the television series My So-Called Life in 1994. |

| | Afghan Whigs |
| | The Whigs are in love with Motown and Philly Soul, with Curtis Mayfield and Otis Redding, but they're not content to reinterpret old songs just for the love of them. | | | The key to whatever the hell it is the Afghan Whigs are about isn't all that easy to find in either of their two most recent albums, 1993's Gentlemen and the new Black Love (Elektra). | | | It's in their creepy version of "Band of Gold," off the 1992 Sub Pop EP Uptown Avondale, and in their reading of Barry White's "Can't Get Enough of Your Love, Babe," off the Beautiful Girls soundtrack, irresistible and laced with sexual menace at the same time. |

| | the-afghan-whigs Mp3 Albums Review |
| | In discussing the Afghan Whigs among the curious or un-informed, I often draw the parallel that their music is a lot like John Coltrane's final recordings. | | | This cd is a great value for the money--it only has seven songs, but it has the emotional depth of a full-length album. | | | Greg Dulli is a wonderful lyricist and writer, I was so happy with this album I went out after hearing of the Twilight Singers album (their first one) and was really let down. |

| | Terrible news...
For the Afghan Whigs, the long-distance relationship just wasn't working.
The soulful rockers, who formed 14 years ago while attending the University of Cincinnati, have called it quits after six albums.
"It was a blast," the band said in a statement issued Tuesday (February 6) through Columbia Records. |

| | If the Afghan Whigs and Screeching Weasel got drunk, detuned all their instruments, invited the local junior high over for lyrical input and made an album, it would sound exactly like "Wake Up Dead," the new album by The Nervous Return. | | | After the break up of his influential band, the Afghan Whigs, and a long break from music, Greg Dulli has a new album. | | | the album "Amber Headlights" was largely recorded in 2001 and harks back to the denser guitar rock of the Afghan Whigs. |

| | Afghan Whigs :: About the Band |
| | In 1998, the Whigs released their most upbeat and pop album, 1965. | | | After two full-length releases and a slew of singles for Sub Pop, the band moved to the big leagues with their breakthrough album, Gentlemen. | | | While their sound was gritty and raw, like their labelmates, the Whigs injected elements of country, blues, and most strikingly, R&B into their music. |

| | Metroactive Music The Afghan Whigs |
| | Director Ted Demme used the Afghan Whigs' songs in the movie Beautiful Girls, and singer Greg Dulli was the voice of John Lennon in the fictional Beatles movie Backbeat. | | | The Whigs hail from Columbus, Ohio, but they are associated more with Seattle, because their second LP, Up in It (1990), was, along with Nirvana's Bleach, one of the cornerstone records of the Sub Pop label and the sound that would soon be called grunge. | | | I'll go so far as to say that 1965, the Whigs' new album, is less unusual and urgent than the towering trilogy that preceded it, but it is still full of all the things lovers of those LPs will love. |

| | The Afghan Whigs |
| | Come 1990, the band got a call from Sub Pop, who released the 'Up In It' album, from which it could first be discerned that something extra-ordinary was rattling forth from Dulli's ravaged tonsils and the wrecked and glowing songs the Whigs had rescued from the ruins of rock. | | | The sickness was an obvious shock to the singer's psyche; he got paranoid and refused to leave his apartment in LA, instead he stayed in writing stories, a screenplay and a new album's worth of brilliant songs. | | | Sultry piano's and a cool vocal appearance from Ruby Belle added to the Whigs' disembowelled Spector-isms, and the harshly revealing lyrics of 'Turn On You' and 'I'm Her Slave' were a testament not only to Greg's personal experience but his storyteller's powers of observation in others. |

| | Afghan Whigs Break the Mold Again |
| | From the recording of Big Top Halloween in 1987 to the release of Gentlemen in late 1993, the Afghan Whigs were considered one of the best underground bands in America. | | | So, on record and on stage, the Afghan Whigs keep expanding their emotional and musical range. | | | During that time the band toured extensively in support of Gentlemen, wrote and recorded the new record, appeared in and provided soundtrack music for the film Beautiful Girls, split with drummer Steven Earle, and replaced him with Paul Buchignani. |

| | The sound veers back towards the Whigs' signature wail, but tempered with road-weariness and pain. | | | While the increased volume follows suit, the Whigs still wax more lyrical than their thrash'n'burn label contemporaries. | | | Dulli's over-the-top emoting — he goes from a whisper to a scream on track after track, most engagingly on "Debonair" and the lasciviously cocky "Be Sweet" — is matched by appropriately imperious arrangements that allow McCollum plenty of room to roam. |

| | Before leaving, I learned that my favorite band in the world, the Afghan Whigs, would be in Europe at the same time, and I immediately made plans to see them play in Amsterdam. | | | The San Jose show was four songs shorter and 15 minutes longer than the one at the Fillmore, but what it lacked in songs (specifically, "Retarded," "Milez Iz Dead," "Vampire Moon" and a fabulous cover of TLC's "Creep"), it made up for in quality. | | | But it's still nice to see them in such a splendidly close setting as the Cactus, among the 50 or 60 people who are the band's truest fans. |

| | Throughout their career, they've moved further and further away from their hard-rock roots, buoyed by the anguished lyrics of frontman Greg Dulli (who had enough vocal presence to sing Lennon's parts in the dramatized Beatles film Backbeat). | | | Afghan Whigs: Greg Dulli (vocals, guitar, piano); Rick McCollum (guitar); John Curley (keyboards, keyboards); Michael Horrigan (drums). | | | Though they came out of the late-'80s grunge crowd, Ohio's Afghan Whigs always seemed a little too smart for rehashed '70s metal cliches. |
