The Whigs ready new single ‘Kill Me Carolyne’ in preparation for UK tour

“It’s easy to see why the Kings (of Leon) have taken them under their wing.” NME

“It’s like a newborn AC/DC with the uber coolness of BRMC.” Artrocker

The Whigs have announced their third single to be taken from their sublime new album ‘In The Dark’. ‘Kill Me Carolyne’ is set for release on the 11th April and follows on from the singles ‘Hundred / Million’ and ‘So Lonely’.

‘In The Dark’, the Athens, GA based group third album was released in January of this year and saw the trio take their sound widescreen. Produced for the large part by Ben H Allen (Animal Collective), ‘Kill Me Carolyne’ is one of two tracks that made the album that was produced by Kings of Leon’s producer Angelo Petragila.

Having thrilled UK audiences supporting the Kings of Leon at the end of last year The Whigs are now gearing up to return to these shores with fellow Athens, GA residents and good friends Dead Confederate for a seven date, co-headline tour that includes a show at London’s Dingwalls on the 23rd February.
