So I briefly touched on the brilliance that is The Whigs a few days ago when they I saw they were playing Conan, but feel the need to elaborate again how much I love their latest album Mission Control.

This is just a flat-out great indie rock record. From start to finish there is not one skip-worthy song and my only complaint with the album is that it’s kind of short clocking in at a little over 37 minutes. (I guess that’s not THAT short, but it just goes very quickly – that’s a good thing!) They are often compared to Paul Westerberg, and I can see some similarities, especially with their first record Give ‘Em All a Big Fat Lip.

Check out the video for their latest singled “Right Hand On My Heart” and download the mp3 here.

Very last minute, but I just realized that The Whigs are on Conan tonight.

If you haven’t checked out their latest, Mission Control, you’re missing out on one great record guaranteed to be high on my end-of-the year list.
