Though originally rising with the grunge rock scene, Afghan Whigs transcended the genre by incorporating R&B, which created a fusion of soul and punk. Dulli, McCollum, and Curley have reformed the group and are touring in 2012. The single “Lovecrimes,” originally released by Frank Ocean in 2011 and available for free download on the band’s website, has been added to the live performance repertoire. In the song, Dulli has lost none of his haunted and husky lyricism, which combines nicely with contemplative and driving guitar and bass accompaniment. In an interview with WXPN, the band expresses an interest in jazz exploration and speaks of how comfortable they still feel playing songs written as younger artists. After a performance on Jimmy Kimmel Live in September, Afghan Whigs is touring Minneapolis, Denver, Portland, Seattle, San Francisco, and Los Angeles. The tour will culminate with a New Years Eve performance in Cincinnati where it all began.
