Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Founded in 1986, The Afghan Whigs are a long-running American rock band founded in Cincinnati by Greg Dulli (vocals, rhythm guitar), Rick McCollum (lead guitar) and John Curley (bass), though the lineup would change repeatedly through the years. With a sound that's something of a mix between punk, soul, funk and rock and Greg Dulli's love of dark, introspective lyrics dealing with topics like abusive relationships, drug addictions and self-loathing, the Afghan Whigs released six albums in the time between 1986 and 2001, when they broke up. They would temporarily reform several times in the years following until 2014, when they made and released their first new album in over 15 years, Do To The Beast. They continued this trend with In Spades, which was released in 2017.During their hiatus, Dulli would go on to found The Twilight Singers, with whom he would release five albums, and The Gutter Twins, who would release one album and one EP.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Discography: Big Top Halloween (1988) Up In It (1990) Congregation (1992) Gentlemen (1993) Black Love (1996) 1965 (1998) Do To The Beast (2014) In Spades (2017)

The Cameo: Greg Dulli played guitar on "X-Static" by Foo Fighters- the only part on their first album that wasn't played by Dave Grohl.

Bookends: Black Love (and more specifically, "Faded") starts and ends with the sound of a train running.

Anti-Love Song: Rather than give specific examples, we'll just say most of Gentlemen and quite a bit of Congregation.

And Now for Someone Completely Different: All the tracks on Gentlemen are from the viewpoint of the abusive boyfriend in the relationship, excepting "My Curse", which abruptly switches to the viewpoint of his partner, and is sung by Marcy Mays of the band Scrawl instead of by Dulli.
