Founded in 2010 in Atlanta, Georgia, Whores has established themselves as one of the most successful and motivated bands in the genre today. Elements of Helmet, Melvins, and the Amphetamine Reptile roster can be heard throughout their catalog, but Whores are no regurgitated throwback act. Through intense, cathartic live performances and the perfected aggressive tenacity present on their recordings, the band has gained a fervent following sure to do nothing but grow in the years to come. October 28, 2016 saw the band's first full-length album, "GOLD." The album was widely praised, garnering spots in the top ten on album of the year lists through publications such as Rolling Stone, MetalSucks, Heavy Planet, Invisible Oranges, and more. The band is currently recording the follow-up to "GOLD." Prior to the release of "GOLD.," Whores' output included two now-classic EPs. "RUINER." released December 20, 2011, put the band on the noise rock map and is now on its fourth pressing. They followed this up with the even-more popular "CLEAN." released October 29, 2013 and now on its sixth pressing. In their short career, Whores have received much critical praise. Some highlights include: • "Ten Artists You Need To Know" - Rolling Stone • "11 Metal Choruses That Will Get Stuck In Your Head All Day" - Alternative Press • "Best of 2016: Metal" - Apple Music #10 Best Metal record of 2016 - Rolling Stone #1 Top Metal Albums of 2016 - Metalsucks
