For their fifth album, the Athens-bred/Nashville-based power trio the Whigs wanted to find the exact midpoint between raw and rehearsed. After more than a decade together - during which they've released four critically lauded studio albums and toured constantly as either headliners or openers for the likes of the Drive-By Truckers, Kings of Leon and MGMT - the three members all agreed that they wanted to flex their muscles a bit: write some goods songs, get them down as tights as possible, hit RECORD, and tear shit up.
