The Whigs’ 3rd album, In The Dark, was released on March 16th 2010.
The Whigs are a trio based out of Athens, GA. In 2005, The Whigs released the independently recorded Give ‘em All a Big Fat Lip. The band signed to indie label ATO Records, home to Radiohead, My Morning Jacket and Ben Kweller, in 2006.
The band’s second album, Mission Control, was released on January 22, 2008. It was produced by Rob Schnapf (Beck, Elliott Smith, Guided By Voices) at Sunset Sound and Sound Factory in Los Angeles, CA.

In August 2009 the band went out with Kings Of Leon again, this time covering Western Canada and the west coast in the United States. That run ended at the old stomping grounds of the Los Angeles Lakers, The Forum. Late 2009 saw The Whigs on a North American headlining tour with support from Nashville’s, The Features.
On March 16th, 2010, their third album, In The Dark, was released on ATO Records.
