The Afghan Whigs are an American rock band from Cincinnati, Ohio, formed in 1986 and fronted by Greg Dulli, known for their emotionally raw and genre-blending sound that combines rock, soul, and funk influences. The band gained critical acclaim throughout the 1990s with landmark albums like "Gentlemen" and "1965," establishing themselves as innovators in alternative rock with deeply introspective lyrics and dynamic musicianship. After disbanding in the early 2000s, The Afghan Whigs reunited in 2012 and continue to perform and record, maintaining their reputation as one of the most distinctive and influential rock acts of their generation.
