Since splitting up and reuniting from 2007 until 2011, alt-rockers the Afghan Whigs have regrouped, once again, and this time for more than just live performances.
Earlier this year, the Afghan Whigs announced the official release date of their first album in sixteen years. Titled Do to the Beast, the album went on sale in North America today. Do to the Beast marks the seventh album for the band and features ten brand new songs, including the single “Algiers.”
Sixteen years is a long time to wait for new music. In honor of the Afghan Whigs’ first release in sixteen years, we’re giving away one of the test pressings of the long-awaited album Do to the Beast.
The new album isn’t the only thing that the Afghan Whigs has in store for this year. Just last week, the band began their tour in promotion of the album. Tickets for the worldwide tour are still available for purchase. In addition to the international tour, the Afghan Whigs are scheduled to perform at this year’s Coachella music festival.
Since the album is called Do to the Beast, to win a test pressing of the Afghan Whigs’ new album, leave a comment below naming your favorite mythological beast. Mine would have to be a griffin.
A winner with a North American mailing address will be chosen a week from today, April 22.
