The Afghan Whigs are an American rock band from Cincinnati, Ohio. They were active from 1986 to 2001 and have since reformed as a band. The group – with core members Greg Dulli (vocals, rhythm guitar), Rick McCollum (lead guitar), and John Curley (bass) – rose up around the grunge movement, evolving from a garage band in the vein of the Replacements to incorporate more R&B and soul influences into their sound and image. After releasing their first album independently in 1988, the band signed to the Seattle-based label Sub Pop. They released their major-label debut and fourth album, Gentlemen, in 1993. Pitchfork described them as "one of the few alt-bands to flourish on a major label" in the 1990s.

  • The Afghan Whigs (česky: Afgánští chrti) jsou americká rocková hudební skupina, která vznikla ve městě Cincinnati (stát Ohio, USA). Byla aktivní v letech 1986 – 2001, avšak v roce 2011 ohlásila obnovení činnosti.

  • The Afghan Whigs é uma banda estadunidense de rock formada em Cincinnati, Ohio, em 1986. Eles se reuniram recentemente. Durante seu auge, a banda – cujos integrantes principais eram Greg Dulli (vocal, guitarra), Rick McCollum (guitarra solo) e John Curley (baixo), além de diversos bateristas (incluindo Steve Earle e Michael Horrigan) – se tornou uma das principais da cena de rock alternativo dos anos 90. Surgiu como parte do movimento grunge, mas posteriormente ultrapassou este rótulo. A sonoridade evoluiu de um rock de garagem similar a The Replacements, Dinosaur Jr. e Mudhoney para um post-punk influenciado por soul, tornando a banda uma das mais aclamadas pela crítica no início dos anos 90 e uma das pioneiras do underground indie estadunidense a obter o apoio das grandes gravadoras.
