Whores Moaning (or Whore's Moaning)[1] is an EP by Sonic Youth released in February 1993. It was released exclusively in Australia to coincide with 1993 tour dates in Australia and New Zealand. The name of the EP was a reference to Nirvana's Australian tour EP Hormoaning, released the previous year.[2]
