The Afghan Whigs

The Afghan Whigs are an American rock band formed in 1986 and led by singer-songwriter Greg Dulli. Their sound blends alternative rock with pronounced soul and R&B influences, combining gritty guitar textures and propulsive rhythms with Dulli's emotive vocals and often dark lyrical themes. They are known for bringing soul-inflected arrangements and cinematic production into an indie rock context and for their role in the late 1980s and 1990s American alternative rock scene.
