Formed in 2002 by members of indie rock bands Jonathan Fire*Eater and The Recoys, The Walkmen soon were outstanding among the crowded New York garage scene with their debut album ‘Everyone Who Pretend To Like Me Is Gone’ (2002), attracting attention because of their freshness and vintage instrumentation. If this first album focused on sonic exploration, their next album, ‘Bows and Arrows’ (2004), solidified their sound and provided the best-known theme of the band and, for many, an indie hymn, ‘The Rat’. It was followed by the albums ‘A Hundred Miles Off’ (2006), ‘Pussy Cats Starring The Walkmen’ (2006) and ‘You and Me’ (2008) which returned them to the top, being described by Pitchfork as ‘the great sound they have always wanted’.
In 2010 The Walkmen showed us their latest production, ‘Lisbon’, preceded by first single ‘Stranded’. 2012 brings us their last launch, ‘Heaven’, a new album which was released on June 4th. The Walkmen are Hamilton Leithauser (vocals, guitar), Paul Maroon (guitar, piano), Walter Martin (organ, bass), Peter Bauer (bass, organ) and Matt Barrick (drums).
