Washington DC, United States

The Walkmen are five New Yorkers who have played rock music since they were 10 years old. All five originally hail from Washington DC, United States where they attended St. Albans high school and played in several bands. Over the years, and in their many ensembles, they’ve experimented with punk, noise, and a lot of “garage” sounds.

The band formed in 2000 with three members from Jonathan Fire*Eater — Paul Maroon (guitar, piano), Walter Martin (organ/bass), and Matt Barrick (drums) — and two from The Recoys — Peter Bauer (bass/organ) and Hamilton Leithauser (vocals, guitar).

i should probably give A Hundred Miles Off another chance sometime, but it just seems so sterile and aloof to me. everything else they've done is pretty much gold tho (haven't heard the cover album)

Such an underrated band, but that's in some way good. As long as they don't go mainstream, I'm happy. They've been producing good music ever since they started, and the concert in SBSR Lisbon was utterly amazing :3
