The Afghan Whigs

The Afghan Whigs 1990s

The Afghan Whigs is an indie rock band from Cincinnati, Ohio that formed in 1986. They continue to release new music and tour to this day. The band consists of primary members Greg Dulli, Rick McCollum, and John Curley, though others have been and are in the band.

In 1990, they signed to Sub Pop as the second non-Pacific Northwest band to join the label. Their work at the time could be likened to that of fellow Sub Pop artist Mudhoney.

Mudhoney split in 2001, but reunited briefly in 2006 for a Rhino Records compilation titled Unbreakable: A Retrospective 1990-2006 before disbanding again. They officially returned in 2011 and haven’t stopped since.

The band remained with Sub Pop through their 2017 LP In Spades. Their latest, How Do You Burn? from 2022, breaks from that tradition.

Amazing Vinyl Records in Terrible Condition

7 Records in Terrible Condition that Will Never Leave My Collection 

If you’ve been a record collector for any notable length of time, you’ll probably have a few albums in your collection of — well — questionable quality. I’m not talking about ones that are guilty pleasures, or ones that are a little embarrassing to admit you have in your collection. (Though I’m sure those exist as well, but that’s a subject for a future list…) I’m also not talking about ones where it’s just a flat out shity pressing. The terrible condition I’m talking about: the records that are truly beat to hell.
