Live Video: The Afghan Whigs

The boozy blues of obsession and regret never sounded so good... at least not in the last 16 years. The Afghan Whigs return after a long hiatus with their signature soul-inflected rock and perform songs from their tantalizingly dark new album, Do to the Beast, live in-studio.

Out This Week

Our recent guests The Afghan Whigs are among the many excellent bands releasing new albums this week. Other great new releases come from Woods, Cloud Cult, Jessica Lea Mayfield, The Both, Chet Faker and many others. Listen to previews for these and many others here.
