The Whigs - In the Dark

Been a little under the weather lately but hopefully on the mend now...and back to posting.

We're really excited for the new release from the Athens, GA band The Whigs, set for release in early 2010. We had a chance to catch the band down in Madison, WI last year and they absolutely rocked.

To tempt us over until the release, the band is releasing the title track from In the Dark for free for all to download, share, and enjoy. You can do so here.

The band is out on tour this fall (no Wisconsin dates, damn) so if you have the chance I highly recommend you take in their set. They're playing with the likes of The Features, The Dead Trees, and Mean Creek on select dates, which you can peep below:
