“On In the Dark the band has paired its roadworthiness with greater ingenuity, and it finally feels like a fuse has been lit. “Kill Me Carolyne” hops around all crazy-eyed, and “I Am For Real” chugs with reflective purpose. The Whigs still break some guitar strings and drumheads along the way, but there’s a wider range of textures and tones here—there’s even a dose of Greg Dulli in the post-Nuggets stomp of “I Don’t Even Care About The One I Love” and thinking man’s bar-trawler “Someone’s Daughter.” The band’s sound has become deeper, richer, more complex: suddenly they’re serving up a pint of porter after a few rounds of Pabst.” PASTE MAGAZINE
“This Athens, GA trio burnishes the South’s recent rep as a cauldron of literate rock acts. Though their pop-dusted garage band approach is distinctive, there are echoes of Kings of Leon bite, My Morning Jacket experiments and Drive-By Truckers lyrical honesty. Singer/guitarist Parker Gispert explores angst and sexual guilt without getting wimpy or losing thrust.” (3 stars)
On 2008′s Mission Control, The Whigs displayed shades of the late , great Replacements. On their third album (In The Dark), this Athens, GA trio continue to do Paul Westerberg and company proud with garage rock that’s heavy on hooks, riffs and swagger.” (3.5 stars) USA TODAY
“The band’s third disc is the sharpest distillation of its neo-college rock yet, with Animal collective producer Ben H. Allen’s arty wall-of-sound approach brightening singer Parker Gispert’s underdog anthems while rarely slowing them down.” (3.5 stars)
