As Brooklyn Vegan reported, the Afghan Whigs — who are known for their distinctive covers — are releasing a new 7" with two cover songs: "Fake Like" by Poliça‘s “Fake Like” and “Downtown" by Still Corners.
While the 7″ won't be out until early 2026 (on the band's own label, Shake It Records), it's available for preorder now — and what's more, in honor of their upcoming milestone anniversary, "many plans are in the works for the band already and will be announced in the new year."
Greg Dulli says playing cover songs started out a way for the Afghan Whigs to 'warm up'
In a 2022 interview with Billboard, Dulli reflected on whether making covers part of the Afghan Whigs' repertoire was always part of the agenda.
"One of the first songs that we ever played as a band was 'Psychedelic Shack' by the Temptations," he continued. "So you’ve got sort of that psychedelic soul that was happening in the early ‘70s, with a lotta wah-wah guitar, that got Rick [McCollum, former lead guitarist] on the wah-wah — and a song that I can think of that came out of that was 'Turn on the Water' from Congregation. I can hear that in there."
Fans of the Afghan Whigs would probably agree.
