The Afghan Whigs

Critically-feted Cincinnati band, led by the hedonistic Greg Dulli, who laced grungy rock with soul, blues, sweat, sex, and anger.

Biography

The Afghan Whigs played a brand of smart no-frills rock perfectly suited to benefit from an interest in the underground generated by the grunge bonanza. Led by tortured soul Greg Dulli, the Whigs infused their tough guitar-based sound with elements of country, roots rock, and, later, a 1970s R&B vibe. Since the band's break-up in 2001, Dulli has gone on to captain the heavily soul-influenced ensemble the Twilight Singers.
