The third and final album from Whipping Boy, "Whipping Boy" (also known as "The Bag of Hammers") was self-released on their own Low Rent label. It captured the band in a more stripped-down, perhaps more relaxed, mood than their earlier, more bombastic work.
- The album was recorded at Cauldron Studios in Dublin during 1999 and 2000 with engineer Pat Lennon.
- "Whipping Boy" was the only release by the band not to feature original drummer Danny Agar.
- This album had a limited release and was not widely distributed.
Whipping Boy are a four-piece band from Dublin, Ireland, who emerged in the early 1990s as part of the city's post-punk and indie rock scene. They are known for their intense, often melancholic, and lyrically dense music. This 2000 release arrived late in their initial run, following a period of internal instability and a departure from their original label.
