The Walkmen is one of the most underrated bands in music history! The songs are melodious and have things to say, the band members put all efforts into performing their songs! I deliberately don't wanna use past tense!

FUCK, The Rat is such an epic song, one of the best drum performances in indie rock as well

Having an ad in the middle of this performance should be a crime

"When i use to go out I knew everyone i saw, now i go out alone if i go out at all." It rings even more true now than when i first heard it 20 years ago.

They perform every song as if it will be the last song ever played on earth, even in a basement.

In the New Year...every year...face melter...tune for generations.

"The Rat" is a Masterpiece

GOAT drummer. Most underrated band of all time and it’s not close.

that fuCKIN DRUMMER! love his playin

Amazing performance. Never heard a better version of "The Rat". That drummer just drives that song and hits like a train!

These dudes play like they're playing for their lives. One of the best songs I ever heard in my life and I'll be sure to make sure my daughter plays this when I leave this poisoned crust 🤘😂

Still to this day, The Walkmen are one of the best bands to come out of the golden era of Indie rock. I still hope to catch them live since they reunited. I can remember the first time i saw the video for The Rat on MTV2 like it was yesterday

just bought tickets to their first shows in 10 years, for spring 2023. Glad the boys are coming back, endlessly excited!

The Walkmen is Truly a underrated band. It is wild to think how they weren't a bigger thing.

I watch this once a month.

I love this band. They don't just sing and play with their souls they let their souls become a song

You'll never see or hear a better version of In The New Year than that one. For realz.

This performance will always feel new. Cause they are timeless. Period.

2019 and still here singing my throat out

The candle that burns twice as bright lasts half as long. So thankful this band existed.

I love him screaming at pipes... I could swear I've seen this video on youtube like 15 years ago

I used to sing "In the new year" and "The rat" outloud as I walked to summer school back in 2009. These guys are so nostalgic it hurts... I'm 24, and the English language cant successfully convey how old this performance makes me feel... Wow.

it's like the ambiance is so casual but his voice is transcending everything

So glad these guys are back. Seem like an Incredible live act

Now I know how all those teenage Beatles fans felt back in the 60s - screaming, crying and passing out. Christ, they were miraculous.

This is the internet's best kept secret

Please reunite. The Walkmen stand well above their peers.

In The New Year Bloody hell, this version has everything. Total total class. Thanks to my son Jamie for letting me in on it 👍🏻

Everyone should see this, but they won’t. I love them and I love this performance. Amazing stuff.

i seen walkmen at a small venue. less then 50 people were there. they played like they were at a sold out stadium. i will always be a fan of all theese guys.

Hamilton´s voice ist just incredible. It makes me think of baby´s being born laughing, of workers singing in the afternoon, of sundays encountering friends and neighboors in the park, of something that is happening all the time, not precisely before our eyes, but in every moment in its self. Englobing the whole moment and life as a whole, while it is still just happening, just another birth, another afternoon, just a small encounter in the park. Makes me think of hope, new possibilites. "It´s gonna be a good year... I tell you I love you... our troubles are over"

Impossibly good - it is just pure music. One of the most awe inspiring bands ever

This and Iceage in the basement have made me so God damn happy I can't stop playing them

Tocan con una pasión tan abrumadora que me he vuelto creyente de The Walkman. Excelente performance, muy auténtico.

i mean, it sounds so raw, the attitude is everything, i really makes you feel in the room. i love it.

those are some crazy drum fills during "The Rat"

I can only pray by some miracle I will see this band play some day, then I can die peacefully.

This is from back n the dayyyy

The song around 5 min. Is so awsome. It wasn't on KZfaq for a while a few yrs ago. Glad it's back.

Their music alway makes me think about rooftops on a warm afternoon.

I can’t stop loving this tune... and the kick-drum cam

There's no way I could of sat still for that performance. By the time The Rat starting playing I would have been dancing all over that tiny basement.

ohh man i love this video, i ve been watching this live for years.

dat drummer doe

The feeling I got when I first heard them is still very much alive to this day.

Apparently this video is 4 years old. Naaaaa. .more like 13. I love this band. They were my 20s. There will never be a band like them. Im glad I existed during the hay day. X

what a kind apassionated way to sing. I love drums and guitar too.
