==History==
Whipping Boy formed in Dublin in 1988, the band comprising Fearghal McKee (vocals), Paul Page (guitar), Myles McDonnell (bass, vocals), and Colm Hassett (drums).〔 They initially performed cover versions of songs by The Velvet Underground and The Fall, and went by the name Lolita and the Whipping Boy, shortening their name when their female guitarist left.〔Lewis, Jonathan "(Whipping Boy Biography )", ''Allmusic'', Macrovision Corporation〕
After a couple of EP's on the Cheree label, they released their low-key debut album, ''Submarine'' in 1992 on Liquid Records . Their live performances raised their profile, with McKee known to cut himself with broken glass on stage.〔 The album was critically acclaimed though commercially unsuccessful, and led to a deal with Columbia Records, who issued the band's second album, Heartworm, in 1995, along with three minor hit singles.〔Strong, Martin C. (2003) "Whipping Boy", in ''The Great Indie Discography'', Canongate, ISBN 1-84195-335-0〕 ''Heartworm'' received much critical acclaim, with ''Allmusic'' calling it "an earth-shatteringly powerful experience".〔Rabid, Jack "(''Heartworm'' Review )", ''Allmusic'', Macrovision Corporation〕 The group split up in 1998 after being dropped by Columbia, leaving a third album unreleased. The self-titled album was eventually released in 2000 on their own Low Rent label.〔
The band reformed in September 2005, announcing several Irish dates.
