With a video freshly added to MTV’s 120 Minutes, a write up in the New York Post, and the first single from their debut LP impacting commercial radio this week, NYC’s The Walkmen are ready to take on the world. Well, maybe not yet, but the experimental garage rockers are ready to dominate the East Coast and Canada come September 6, when they embark on a quick, 5-date tour.
