It’s been ten years since the Walkmen made their debut album, Everybody Who Pretended To Like Me Is Gone. Ten years since they mixed the lovingly recorded analogue tapes down to the cheapest CD burner they could find. Ten years since lead singer Hamilton Leithauser snapped guitarist Paul Maroon’s arm in a celebratory wrestling match. Ten years since critics attached them to a New York scene they never wanted any part of.

But when Leithauser sings “We Can’t Be Beat,” on the opening track of their new album, he means it, like Cool Hand Luke getting up off the floor for one more round. “The world is ours,” he declares. This time, he may be right.

To celebrate their new release, the Walkmen will play an intimate hometown show at the Bowery Ballroom this Wednesday, June 6th at 9pm EST. We’ve partnered with the indie-rockers to provide a worldwide live stream of the concert. Stay tuned for more details!

The Austin, TX quartet known as The Young have kept a somewhat shadowy profile since their inception in 2007. Their newest album, Dub Egg, is the product of a week’s recording in an actual-cabin-in-the-woods.

Trespassing, the latest from Adam Lambert, is part buoyant dance-pop with a funk-rock sensibility, and part brooding introspection — a rich album that reveals both his dark and light sides, as well as the complex gray area in between.  

To celebrate, Adam has curated two playlists, DARK and LIGHT to coincide with the album. Check them out here!
