This Alternative-Rock act was formed in the summer of 2000 in New York
City by vocalist+guitarist Hamilton Leithauser, guitarist Paul Maroon,
organist Walter Martin, bassist Peter Bauer and drummer Matt Barrick;
the band members came together after the break up of unsuccessful previous
outfits that experimented with Garage, Punk and Noise-Rock.
In June 2001, The Walkmen released a 4-track self-titled EP and began
performing live in the New York City area.
The quintet coalesced around the studio and released its first full-length
CD, "Everyone Who Pretended To Like Me Is Gone", in March 2002.
They returned two years later with "Bows + Arrows" debuting
at #8 on Billboard's Top Heatseekers chart and #9 on the Top Independent
Albums tally.
The Walkmen released their third full-length, "A Hundred Miles Off",
in May 2006 on Record Collection; the opening track, "Louisiana",
was also the first single off the CD.
