Eight long years later, their new full-length, WAR., dropped in April, and Whores celebrated by tearing across the country and blasting audiences with their maelstrom of massive, sledge-hammering rock 'n' roll.The day after their gig at Cobra Nashville, Whores frontman Christian Lembach, dressed in his Nashville best, met up with PG's Chris Kies at Eastside Music Supply to run through his brutal road rig.Shop Whores' Gear:D'Addario NYXL Strings (.013-.056) - https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/NYXL1356W--daddario-nyxl1356w-medium-with-wound-3rd-nickel-wound-electric-strings-013-056Marshall JCM800 - https://sweetwater.sjv.io/Gm36zVCelestion G12T-75 Speakers - https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/G12T-758--celestion-g12t-75-12-inch-75-watt-replacement-guitar-speaker-8-ohmBeetronics Swarm - https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/SwarmFuzz--beetronics-fx-swarm-fuzz-harmonizer-pedalElectro-Harmonix Green Russian Big Muff Clone - https://sweetwater.sjv.io/eK6yojEHX POG - https://sweetwater.sjv.io/NkP4x7EHX Superego+ - https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/SuperEgoPlus--electro-harmonix-superego-plus-synth-engine-with-effectsCIOKS DC10 - https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/CIOKSDC10--cioks-dc10-10-output-isolated-guitar-pedal-power-supplyFull Rig Info: https://www.premierguitar.com/videos/rig-rundown/whores-2024 Subscribe to PG's Channel: http://bit.ly/SubscribePGYouTubeWin Guitar Gear: https://bit.ly/GiveawaysPG Don't Miss a Rundown: http://bit.ly/RIgRundownENLMerch & Magazines: https://shop.premierguitar.comPG's Facebook: https://facebook.com/premierguitarPG's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/premierguitar/PG's Twitter: https://twitter.com/premierguitarPG's Threads: https://threads.net/@premierguitarPG's TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@premierguitar[Brought to you by D'Addario: https://ddar.io/wykyk-rr & XPND Pedalboard: https://ddari.io/xpnd.rr]0:00 - Electronic Audio Experiments & D'Addario0:15 - "Fake Life" Live at Cobra Nashville1:27 - Chris Kies Intro1:57 - How Does Performing Onstage Provide Catharsis3:20 - Indulgent Rig For Himself4:40 - Deciding on Run Time for War Based on Vinyl Quality6:53 - Bonding with the Esquire Model9:35 - Six-Saddle Bridge from Amazon11:19 - Clone of Mark Knopfler Schecter F520T Pickups13:25 - Beetronics Swarm14:42 - Working with Producer Ryan Boesch18:52 - Whores' Tunings & Strings21:09 - Guitar Pick Choices22:00 - Furlan Guitars Custom Model with Greenville Beauty Parlor P90s28:56 - John Bohlinger & XPND Pedalboard29:45 - 1973 Marshall Super Lead & 2002/2003 1959SLP Amps35:11 - Marshall JCM 800 4x12s with Celestion G12T-75s35:57 - Whores' Main Sound Big Muff + Super Hard On36:58 - Earth Guitars Esquire Built by Jason Beebe37:57 - Bullet Cable Classic Coil38:42 - Pedalboard42:02 - ZVEX Whores Fuzz Factory45:45 - Devi Ever FX / Dwarfcraft Devices Soda Meiser47:22 - Beetronics Swarm Pt 250:37 - Keeley Nova Wah52:28 - Boss TU-2 Tuner53:25 - Spiral Electric FX Yellow Spiral55:59 - Boss NF-1 Noise Gate56:54 - Alexander Pedals Radical Delay II Plus57:36 - Clone of EHX Green Russian Big Muff58:53 - Electro-Harmonix Micro POG & Superego+01:02:32 - Lehle Switcher & CIOKS DC1001:03:32 - Using 9V batteries01:05:28 - More Fun Covering AC/DC or Black...
Christian Lembach, guitarist, vocalist, and driving force behind WHORES. will not be denied. With a new album, War. (The Ghost Is Clear Records), released earlier this year, the band is hitting the road despite tragedy in their ranks, with a positive focus and an intention to persevere.GOFUNDME for Douglas BarretMusic by:YellfireWhores.Big'nIntro music by:Hot ZonePatreon: https://www.patreon.com/GettingitoutpodcastEmail: dan@gettingitout.netWebsite: http://gettingitout.net/Instagram: @getting_it_out_podcastFacebook: www.facebook.com/gettingitoutpodcastX: @GettingItOutPod Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

Burn your body, free your soul. Metal, even at its most neanderthalic, has been about transcendence. The moment in the mosh where the flailing limbs start to resemble a larger pattern, the chaos in the wall of sound solidifies into coherence. And no one puts that duality to work like Whores. The Atlanta trio makes the meanest sludge-rock this side of The Melvins and their debut EP CLEAN was a brutal, yet smart opening salvo. So listen to our interview with them, read our thoughts on CLEAN and see why it's the best of the 10s. “I don't know what makes me feel ok. Music, really. Coffee, cats, fuzz pedals. Basic stuff really.” — Christian Lembach
Keith sits down with Christian Lembach to discuss growing up in South Florida, early music influences, discovering punk rock and hardcore, moving to North Carolina for college, leaving college to settle in Atlanta GA and Christian's story of getting sober. We also discuss the formation of WHORES, the early days of the band, recording the debut EP "Ruiner", signing with Entertainment One and the release of the "Gold" LP, how Christian made the band his sole focus after the release of "Gold", surviving the pandemic and multiple injuries, Whores' latest LP "WAR", what's next for the band and more.
The much awaited and rescheduled Australian and New Zealand tour of Atlanta's Kings of Noise Rock Whores is due to kick off next week.

Christian Lembach from Atlanta's WHORES stopped in today to discuss gear, drummers, recording their new album and their upcoming insane world tour. Super rad guy and an easy guy to talk to. Hope to have this up early next week and their album should be coming out relatively soon.

For episode 13 we sat down and chatted with Christian Lembach, the charming singer and guitar player for pummeling noise rock outfit Whores. Turns out Christian is a chill homebody who has a side-hustle in Atlanta's film and television industry, and a cat named Taco. Taco Cat. We end up talking a lot about how important relationships are to DIY artists, and how strange a media empire eOne is, and what it was like to grow up on tiny Marco island in Florida. We dig back into the Bay Area's history of Noise Rock, including classic bands like Grotus. We discuss a recurring theme...that music is literal magic. He drops a little news bomb...that they've joined Nathan Carson's Nanotear booking agency...when shows happen again that is.At the merch table. Christian shows off his new Hanoi Rocks recorded, and Jeff flashes a couple of new Boss Keloid records, and his new bass built by JML custom guitars. It's a stunner.Christian informs who our new favorite old band is...the almighty Asschapel! And then we wrap up with a really touching discussion of Christian's favorite hometown band Smoke. Smoke was a legendary unique dark folk/funeral dirge indie rock band from Atlanta. Two members, who Christian was good friends with, have passed, and he talks about how the hopelessness they expressed touched him because they were a part of his wild youth and ultimately his sobriety. He talks about how he was lucky to get away from drugs, and how his gratitude for getting sober fuels his musical drive. Take a listen, and watch the documentary about Benjamin Smoke's life linked below.Whores: https://whores.bandcamp.com/Cornucopia from the MER Black Sabbath Comp: https://magneticeyerecords.bandcamp.com/track/whores-cornucopiaAsschapel: https://asschapelsl.bandcamp.com/releasesBenjamin Smoke Documentary: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_NW9hU4nPUwThis week's submissions:Sheenjek - UncleverFrack - One in the Chamber Blank Banshee - Mindtrap Ikarass - Blood heavenVexing Hex - RevenantDJ Earl - BAAAABands!

Christian Lembach is one of the most well-spoken, funny, and gear savvy guys out there making music these days. We talked about everything from The Room, to his writing process, to what gives him some of the heaviest tones to hit the stage. Beyond that, how his band Whores is handling the involuntary downtime. While it's quiet for them now, they are still pumping out tunes, gear, and more. Expect a busy second half of the year for these guys, and hear why.

Field trip episode featuring Christian Lembach, Casey Maxwell, and Joel Willis of the Atlanta band WHORES. Jon chats with them about European toilet situations, how much tour earns the right for a hashtag, illegal apples, and how one navigates a 15 passenger van plus trailer through a Taco Bell drive thru (one doesn't). Also joining are Matt Koroulis and Brandy Rettig.
For Episode 27 I spoke with Christian Lembach, singer and guitarist for the noise rock band Whores. We talked about the death of his father when he was still very young, the debilitating car crash he experienced a few years later, his addiction to IV drugs, and his eventual recovery.

I was able to speak to two of my favorite bands, two of my favorite power trios, two of my favorite ohm pushing purveyors of noisey sonic glory. Philly/Jersey's own Fight Amp & Atlanta's Whores. Both are often described as the new face of modern noise rock and these guys are in my opinion exemplary acts in the often predictable world of heavy music. It was certainly cool to catch up with them both on the same night as they shared a bill at Greenpoint, Brooklyn's own Saint Vitus. First up we have Dan Smith, drummer of Fight Amp followed by Christian Lembach singer/guitarist of Whores!! Check it out!!
