Alt-rock icons The Afghan Whigs' searing, muscular sound fused post-punk flair, gritty and soulful R&B inclinations, with the swagger and tormented emotional ferocity of lead singer-songwriter Greg Dulli. Nothing sounds quite like their raw, unflinching music, which has amassed a large and loyal cult following over the years. One of the most critically acclaimed alternative bands of the'90s, the Whigs originally formed in Cincinnati, Ohio in 1986. An early self-released LP led to a multi-album deal with Seattle-based indie Sub Pop, and their riveting 1990 release for that label is where this compilation their first begins. It follows the Afghan Whigs through their Elektra and Columbia output, and also features two new and previously unreleased tracks recorded by the reunited group in 2006. It's an extraordinary portrait of one of American rock's most distinctive bands.
