The Afghan Whigs \u2013 comprising frontman\/guitarist Greg Dulli, bassist John Curley, multi-instrumentalist Rick Nelson, drummer Patrick Keeler and new guitarist Christopher Thorn (Blind Melon) will return to the UK and Europe for the first time in five years this summer. <\/p>\n
In February The Afghan Whigs released an electrifying new single \u201cI\u2019ll Make You See God,\u201d their first new music since 2017\u2019s album In Spades. The propulsive, driving rock track is also featured in the upcoming PlayStation game Gran Turismo 7 (out March 4th) and the single is being released via Royal Cream\/BMG. Listen to the track HERE<\/a>. Watch the lyric video HERE<\/a>. <\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019ll Make You See God\u201d is a combustible head-banger, showcasing Greg Dulli\u2019s powerhouse vocals, still soaring after thirty years since the band\u2019s inception in 1986. \u201cThat\u2019s one of the hardest rock songs we\u2019ve ever done,\u201d remarked Greg Dulli. \u201cIt was written and performed on sheer adrenalin.\u201d<\/p>\n From their inception in Cincinnati, Ohio in 1986, The Afghan Whigs have never played by the rules of convention. Against the plaid-and-grunge-shaded backdrop of the early-to-mid-\u201890s, the Whigs stood apart from their contemporaries by virtue of attiring in suits and being way more likely to slide on up into a Marvin Gaye groove than rehash a Black Sabbath riff.<\/p>\n They stand apart still. Twenty-six years down the line, bands simply aren\u2019t supposed to be making the most vaulting and thrilling music of their lives. Returning from an 11-year hiatus in 2012, the Whigs have brightened their canon with two more widely-acclaimed records digging yet deeper into the rich seam of their influences, \u2018Do to the Beast\u2019 (2014) and \u2018In Spades\u2019 (2017).<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Afghan Whigs \u2013 comprising frontman\/guitarist Greg Dulli, bassist John Curley, multi-instrumentalist Rick Nelson, drummer Patrick Keeler and new guitarist Christopher Thorn (Blind Melon) will return to the UK and Europe for the first time in five years this summer.
