This three-piece Alternative-Rock band was formed in Athens, Georgia
USA, with Parker Gispert on vocals + guitar, Hank Sullivant on bass and
Julian Dorio on drums.
In the summer of 2005 with zero dollars in their pocket, the band bought
recording equipment on eBay, recorded on it for a couple months, then
sold the equipment back on eBay for a small profit. The result was the
primal "Give 'Em All A Big Fat Lip" which was self-released
by The Whigs in November 2005 and later re-released by ATO Records in
September 2006.
The Athens trio spent most of 2006 and 2007 on the road touring with artists
like The Killers, Franz
Ferdinand and The Futureheads.
"Mission Control", the band's second effort, was an album jam-packed
with infectious melodies and dynamic rhythms; released in January 2008,
it reached the #36 position on the Top Independent Albums chart and its
lead single, "Right Hand On My Heart", climbed into the top
40 of The Hot Modern Rock chart.
The Whigs prepares to unleash its third album, "In The Dark";
it is set to be released March 16, 2010 and features their new single
"Kill Me Carolyne".
