The band offered their audience a sneak peak at music from their upcoming release Heaven, which included the knockout "We Can't Be Beat."
In 2002, the group released its first album, Everyone Who Pretended to Like Me Is Gone ? its song "We've Been Had" was featured in a prominent commercial ? but it was Bows + Arrows, the follow-up, which launched The Walkmen to national success. "The Rat" and "Little House of Savages" demonstrated the band's versatility, and it was soon booked to play not only concerts and festivals, but also an episode of The O.C.
Though they closed their recording studio in 2006, The Walkmen's members have continued to make great music. The group recently finished recording its seventh album, Heaven, set for release on June 5. Though the new record is quieter than its predecessors, the band has been performing with a full horn section.
Regardless of the band's makeup, The Walkmen's sound is characterized by its simplicity ? urgent guitars, driving drums and, of course, the voice of Hamilton Leithauser, who seems to bellow, howl and croon simultaneously.
