They've crept into your ears without you even knowing it - Lemonade 's "Softkiss" has [...]
Easily one of the better performances during Sasquatch! this past weekend came from New York band The Walkmen. On stage, the boys looked snazzy and were dressed appropriately for the sharp numbers they played from Heaven - that's their sixth studio album which, according to our Music Director, Don Yates, is "an impeccably crafted set of widescreen indie-rock combining the anthemic power of classic U2 with occasional echoes of '50s doo wop, Buddy Holly, the Everly Brothers and other vintage signifiers of early rock & roll at its most warm-hearted."
