The Dead Weather

Helmed by one of the most impassioned lead singers of her day (Alison Mosshart of The Kills) and one of the busiest men in rock (Jack White of The White Stripes, The Raconteurs, et al.), The Dead Weather are a straightforward rock n' roll band with a bluesy backbone. The group became one of the most talked-about acts in 2009 with the release of its debut LP, creatively titled Whorehound.
