The Afghan Whigs are an American rock band from Cincinnati, Ohio, formed in 1986 by singer-songwriter Greg Dulli and bassist John Curley. Where most of their 1990s peers leaned into grunge, the Whigs wove R&B and soul into their guitar rock - a tension that defined landmark albums like Gentlemen (1993) and Black Love (1996). After disbanding in 2001 and reuniting in 2011, they have continued releasing critically acclaimed records, with their tenth studio album Soft Control arriving in August 2026.
The Afghan Whigs released their tenth studio album Soft Control via Royal Cream/BMG, receiving strong critical praise from multiple outlets.
The band announced Soft Control and a fall 2026 European and North American tour, releasing the lead single 'Jungle Roux' simultaneously.
Soft Control was recorded across multiple U.S. studios and trimmed from 22 recorded songs down to 10 tracks running 37 minutes.
2026 marks the band's 40th anniversary, which they are celebrating with a headline tour across North America and Europe.
Their ninth album How Do You Burn? was released in September 2022 via BMG, earning widespread critical acclaim from Rolling Stone, Pitchfork, and others.
