After spending much of the earlier part of the year supporting 2008’s Mission Control, The Whigs have returned with a slew of upcoming tour dates and plans for a brand new studio album.
Beginning October 28th, the Athens, GA based outfit will embark on a six-week U.S. tour, a venture that will see them paired with the likes of The Features, The Dead Trees, and Mean Creek. It will also see the band debut songs from its forthcoming studio album, which is titled In The Dark and scheduled for an early 2010 release via ATO Records.
The Whigs haven’t given much in the way of details pertaining to the new album, but they have provided a preview in the form of the title track, which you can stream below.
Tickets for the newly announced dates are on sale via Ticketmaster.com.
