The Afghan Whigs were a soul-influenced alternative rock band which hailed from Cincinnati. While they achieved moderate success in the 1990’s -- Rolling Stone described the band as spending "the bulk of their career on the brink of stardom" --they "never quite broken beyond a substantial legion of devotees enamored of their thinly veiled sleaze."

Greg Dulli (vocals, rhythm guitar), Rick McCollum (lead guitar), John Curley (bass), and Steve Earle (drums -- not to be confused with country musician Steve Earle) formed the band in Cincinnati in 1986.
