Southern Rock band lives up to the hype at the Black Cat last Thursday

Parker Gispert of The Whigs
When Rolling Stone Magazine called the Whigs “the best unsigned band in America” back in 2006, a lot of hype surrounded the Athens, Georgia trio. Indie label, ATO Records has since snagged them, but watching these southern boys rock out at the Black Cat last Thursday only further convinced me of how worthy they are of all the buzz.
The Whigs flat out rock. Mission Control was the best album of 2008. I can’t wait for the new one.
