The Afghan Whigs

The Afghan Whigs performed "It Kills" live at the KEXP studio on April 15, 2014, during a period marked by their significant comeback after a lengthy hiatus. Prior to this performance, the band released their album "Do to the Beast" in April 2014, which was their first studio album in over 16 years, following "Black Love" from 1996. This marked a pivotal resurgence for the band, both critically and commercially, reestablishing their presence in the alternative rock scene. The live recording showcases the band's gritty sound and emotive delivery, characteristic of their style, which blends elements of rock and soul. Interestingly, the Afghan Whigs, led by Greg Dulli, are known for their dramatic live performances and this recording at KEXP highlights their ability to connect with the audience, while also featuring a song that resonates with themes of heartache and introspection, reflecting Dulli's songwriting prowess.
