(PR) Athens, GA garage rockers The Whigs are very excited to hit the road this month and premiere songs from their upcoming album, In The Dark (ATO Records). The headlining tour covers 29 cities in seven weeks and The Features, The Dead Trees and Mean Creek will support the run at different stages.
Set for an early 2010 release, In The Dark follows up the highly successful album Mission Control, a record that captured the raw and gritty spirit of rock n roll and had countless critics scrambling to praise the band's no-holds-barred, bare-boned aesthetic.
To give fans a sneak peek at In The Dark, The Whigs are offering the title track for free. Click here to download.
