–Featured Release: The Afghan Whigs: “In Spades”

Genre: Indie-Rock/Grunge/Alt-Rock // Label: Sub Pop Records

Background:

The Afghan Whigs returned to the scene after 16 years back in 2014 with Do To The Beast, an album that proved the band’s return was more than just a feel-good reunion.  Playing some of their best music, the record found its way onto many rock fan’s best of 2014 lists.  With In Spades, the band keeps that momentum rolling with what feels like an even bigger record.  The Afghan Whigs’ latest sees them hitting their stride full speed, creating a through-and-through rock album with plenty of eastern influence.  The band has been around long enough now to know when to use restraint, and In Spades feels like the ideal balance of riff-filled, in-your-face rockers and quieter, more reserved ballads.  Modern rock bands everywhere should take note of The Afghan Whigs, because this is what the genre should sound like in 2017.
