	StarTime Intl. \| Bands: The Walkmen
		The Walkmen are five friendly New Yorkers who have played rock music diligently since the 5th grade.
		This is understandable as the Walkmen had only played a handful of shows before StarTime International released their debut 4-song EP.
		Joining with ex-Recoys, Walter's cousin Hamilton and his friend Peter (who had for years been slaving away in the East Village for spots at the Continental and Luna as the Recoys), the lineup was complete by the summer of 2000.

	So Much Silence: The Walkmen cover Mazarin
		So the Walkmen cover a song from an album that came out in 2005 and put it on their new album.
		That the Walkmen put this cover on their album, I think, shows a great respect to Mazarin.
		Whatever the case, the Walkmen's cover of the track seems to be the ultimate tribute to a band they admire.

	Bows + Arrows - The Walkmen - Song Listings
		Even though this is the second time around on a major label for most of the Walkmen -- whose previous incarnation, Jonathan Fire*Eater, rather famously dissolved after their first (and last) album for Dreamworks, Wolf Songs for Lambs, failed to live up to the label's sales expectations -- the...
		However, the Walkmen don't limit themselves to familiar emotional and musical territory; the breathtakingly lovely "Hang on Siobhahn" is a delicately drunken waltz that, with its faraway drums and tinkling pianos, finds Leithauser promising to come home soon; it could be from a tour, or a tour of duty.
		It's one of the best songs the Walkmen have done, and along with "138th Street," it finds the band exploring the Pogues' influence that has always lurked around the edges of their sound.

	Amazon.com: A Hundred Miles Off: Music: The Walkmen (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		The Walkmen have been solidifying their position as one of the most important bands in the alternative music community with their previous releases, "Everyone Who Pretended To Like Me Is Gone" and "Bows And Arrows".
		So, the first of the Walkmen's albums to completely capture my interest is also their first to be near-universally panned by critics.
		it's sort of the theme the Walkmen themselves use when constructing their riffs - take a chord play it for many measures - but noodle with it a bit - add sixths or 11ths or whatever - and then while the pounding is just getting hypnotic switch to a relative minor.

	Interview: The Walkmen \| \| Guardian Unlimited Arts
		Perhaps you'll recognise it by its opening line: "You've got a nerve to be asking a favour..." Propelled by a thundering rhythm and a distinctly eerie keyboard, it's by a group called the Walkmen, who seem, in spite of stiff competition, to embody all one might hope for from the New York band.
		The Walkmen, it turns out, are a group too bright and, in their quiet way, too funny to be much interested in any traditional appearance of cool.
		As you'll hear on their new single Little House Of Savages, or see for yourself at one of their upcoming live shows, this is a group of a memorable darkness, bearing songs of a certain creepy menace.

	RADAR REPORT: The Walkmen
		You may have heard The Walkmen when their song, "We've Been Had," was featured in a Saturn Ion commercial last year.
		That spot and lots of critical praise gave The Walkmen, a New York-based quintet, more than enough cred to sign a record deal with Record Collection, a division of Warner Bros. Records.
		With their sophomore album, Bows and Arrows, The Walkmen, prove that their brand of rock is solid, classic and most of all, passionate.

	Talitres - The Walkmen
		The Walkmen became a band around 2000, but their history together goes back several decades.
		The Walkmen still served as their own producers; Zientera allowed them to focus on their sound and their performance without getting caught up in technical details.
		Actually, the Walkmen's next record is already in the can: it's a cover of a covers album, Harry Nilsson's Pussycats, that the band recorded quickly as a farewell to Marcata (the studio is closing, thanks to new landlord Columbia University's plans for the building).

		The bottom line is that if you have something significant to say, it’s not always so important how pretty the message sounds coming out of your not-so-golden throat.
		In the sad case of The Walkmen’s Hamilton Leithauser, this gap between his vocal reach and his targeted melodies is just too wide a chasm to bridge.
		There are also a few places where The Walkmen run—but don’t walk—so to speak.

		Their diverse bag of influences seems to stem from the same record collection the Strokes had (aka VU, Stooges, Television, Pixies) but throw in a little Radiohead, possibly U2 and more of a leaning to 80s pop than 70s raw.
		Walkmen are part of a growing number of of bands in New York City that are taking the Velvet Underground sound, but then going a step further.
		I saw The Walkmen play at Brownies in New York a few months ago and was blown away.

		The Walkmen formed in 2000 in New York after the disbanding of Jonathan Fire Eater in 1998 and The Recoys.
		With the remainder of the funding Jonathan Fire Eater received from Dreamworks, they established a 24-track recording studio as well as a rehearsal space in New York City called Marcata Studios, completed in the fall of 1999.
		So while they may have promoted a slow ride through childhood in a compact car, The Walkmen can easily pace you through adult years in a mid-sized sedan.

	indieworkshop.com \| music: The Walkmen - A Hundred Miles Off
		Well it appears that I've made a grave mistake and confused the new Walkmen album, A Hundred Miles Off, with a new Dylan release.
		My apologies, but who can blame me when the Walkmen's lead singer, Hamilton Leithauser is so desperately trying to sound like the prolific Dylan.
		Similarly, the Walkmen leave behind their New England roots for the Americana opener "Louisiana." The clean guitar riffs accompany Leithauser as the drums stay out of the mix until later in the track, only to boost the already jovial mood.

		Three of these guys used to be in Jonathan Fire*Eater, a critic's darling band I never actually listened to, and two of them were in The Recoys, a band so obscure that if you try to go to their Web site you get Mexican porn pop-ups all over your screen.
		But the unified band called The Walkmen have made an album that is wild and weird and way better than that crap you're listening to.
		But it's glorious nonetheless; he warbles and swoops and sighs and in general acts like the second coming of Tom Verlaine back when Television was the best band in New York.

		Three albums deep in the recording process, The Walkmen have hit their stride on tour.
		Sure, they played the hits, they wouldn't get their paychecks if they didn't, but they varied their set enough from Monday to Tuesday to make it feel like you were at a whole new show.

	The Walkmen 'Bows + Arrows'
		But those already familiar with The Walkmen and their history will know that they are more than just another band with a 212 area code and the first Velvet Underground album.
		Formed form the ashes of the incendiary and much hyped Jonathan FireEater, three fifths of The Walkmen* grew up together in Washington DC, a city with a different attitude to their adopted hometown of New York.
		But along with the likes of Sonic Youth, Velvet Underground and the usual suspects there’s clearly a hint of the Pogues and early U2 in The Walkmen, not least in Leithauser’s voice which can be triangulated somewhere between Shane McGowan, Tom Waits and Bono gargling gravel.

	The Walkmen - A Hundred Miles Off / Album Review / Rock Music Review
		The Walkmen is one of those bands that I’ve been watching for a few years.
		The downfalls to this undertaking come in the fact that a solid EP is what exists, but for every memorable tune, there are two other riffs and/or hooks that are as edgy and memorable as lukewarm pea soup.
		Simply put, outside of some deviating drum techniques and moments that could be mistaken for definitive crooning, The Walkmen has approached this collection in the extremely formulaic manner for which they have come to be known.

	Glide Magazine Reviews - The Walkmen
		The Walkmen’s newest release, A Hundred Miles Off, is an unusual record, because the twelve songs on the album are the most textured a listener might hear within the NYC rock scene; however, the album is also strangely distanced and removed emotionally.
		From their Bows and Arrows album to this new release, the Walkmen seemed to be actively experimenting with their sound in an attempt to create something profoundly new and different.
		And although this unusual album is a largely uninspired mess of sorts, it’s refreshing to see a band swing for the fences and occasionally miss, only to dig in again and try for the fences again.

	RegnYouth Archives » Blog Archive » The Walkmen - Hundred Miles Off
		The Walkmen are often incorrectly lumped in with the garage and new-wave revivals, and while one can certainly hear elements of the Velvet Underground and Joy Division on ‘Hundred Miles Off’, the ragged poetry of Bob Dylan’s late-’60s work looms large here.
		This is not to say the album lacks its share of indie guitars and punky energy, but these elements are balanced with a poignant yearning and an artful sense of composition that sets the album, and its creators, apart from the indie rock pack.

		Originally from Washington D.C. all five members of the band, The Walkmen packed up and moved to New York to seek their futures as musicians.
		Though there were various members in two different bands at the time, (Paul Maroon-guitar, Matt Barrick-drums and Walter Martin-organs were in a band called Jonathan Fire Eater and first cousins Peter Bauer-bass and Hamiltion Leithauser-vocals, guitar, were in a band called The Recoys) they eventually formed The Walkmen after their respective bands broke up.
		Walter, Matt and Paul began building a recording studio named Marcata Recording in Harlem a few floors below a police station (talk about a safe studio) and set out to record and write their first record, Everyone Who Pretended to Like Me is Gone.
