Biography

From the wreckage of mid-1990s indie-rock hype victims Jonathan Fire*eater the Walkmen arose at the turn of the century as major players in the New York City circle of post-punk/new wave-inspired bands (Interpol/Yeah Yeah Yeahs, etc.). Setting the Walkmen apart is a heavy reliance on piano and organ, and a preference for atmospherics over garagey antics. The band already had two albums and a number of EPs under its belt when 2004's BOWS AND ARROWS broke big and made them music-mag cover boys.
