IV is the fourth studio album by American rock band Winger. According to frontman Kip Winger, one morning he "just woke up and heard the new Winger record" in his head, knowing just what he wanted to do with it.[2] It was released in October 2006 on Frontiers Records. The album is very different from the band's first two commercially successful records and is the most musically progressive album of Winger's career. The album cover was done by comic book artist Ethan Van Sciver, known for his work at DC and Marvel Comics. Kip Winger was introduced to Van Sciver by a mutual friend in Florida.

Trivia

In 2009, Kip Winger was presented with an honorary plaque and a historic United States of America flag by The Government of the United States for his musical composition "Blue Suede Shoes" honoring the service and sacrifice of the United States armed forces and their families.[3]
