The Afghan Whigs will return after a 16 year absence with new album Do to the Beast, out April 15 on Sub Pop. Here is the first video of a track from said album, directed by Philip Harder. So good to have them back!! I am a big fan of Greg Dulli’s vocals be it with the Afghan Whigs / The Twilight Singers / The Gutter Twins.
Modern Rivals – Pins and Stitches
