The Walkmen have been getting compared to U2 for so long it has probably replaced questions about precursor band Jonathan Fire*eater's sad major-label flop on the New York rockers' list of pet peeves. Hell, SPIN compared them to "U2 meets Neil Diamond" in one of their very first mentions in this magazine. Good news: The Walkmen have announced the completion of the follow-up to their older, wiser 2010 album Lisbon . News that's worth one rubber-necking click: They've posted a godawful U2 medley to commemorate the occasion. The Walkmen's U2 mega-mix includes raucous, lyrically challenged, and ...

The Walkmen recently announced that they have finished work on the follow-up to The A.V. Club 's No. 2 album of 2010, Lisbon. To celebrate, the band posted a gloriously terrible medley of U2's "Pride (In The Name Of Love)," "With Or Without You," and "Sunday Bloody Sunday" on its website. While the band calls the medley "embarrassing," we say it would be embarrassing not to blast this as loud as you can, preferably while waving a white flag. [via thewalkmenmusic.blogspot.com ]

Now that New York band The Walkmen has finished their seventh studio album, they’ve offered fans a little insight into one of their recording sessions. The rock group posted a video to their Facebook page with audio of a U2 cover medley that includes songs like “Pride In the Name of Love,” “With or Without You” and “Sunday Bloody Sunday.”

To celebrate the completion of their new album, The Walkmen released an “embarrassing recording of a spontaneous outburst of frustration that occurred during the very rigorous sessions.” That outburst was a medley of U2 covers, namely “Pride In the Name of Love”, “With or Without You”, & “Sunday Bloody Sunday”. “It’s our way of blowing off

I've been listening to *Bowerbirds* (http://www.absolutepunk.net/bowerbirds)' upcoming album The Clearing on repeat the past week, and one of the songs I always put on first is actually... the first track, "Tuck The Darkness In." It's just so good (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=77O4zH8ICjk)....

Deaf Club's  Lull EP of yesteryear was one of the finest, most colourful splashes of extended-play to have graced t'internet over the course of them there twelve months. Sunday, released February 20th via White On White, picks up precisely where the Welsh outfit left off with despondence-engendering guitars infected with an unshakeable sheen of reverb and has us lauding their return in place of longing for progression. It's lifted from a limited six-track cassette release on club Kissability , a tape-only imprint of the omnipotent Transgressive and as Polly Mackey wistfully sighs periodically throughout, it'd appear to ...

A Cologne, Germany-repping beat crew who know the fundamentals of hip-hop better than many of their stateside counterparts—as amply demonstrated in past features Let’s Get It and Top Rank — JR & PH7 are back to turn heads once again with their latest EP single. Taking its title from Bloody Sunday , an infamously violent 1972 episode in the “Troubles” of Northern Ireland (also the subject of one of U2’s biggest hits), this joint finds the twosome crafting a headphone-ready boom-bap instrumental to back Jersey crew Brokn Englsh ( Myk Dyaleks , Cion Burris , and Lyriq2Go ) and fellow Garden State native St ...

Let’s straighten one thing out: U2 are awful, and no song attests to this more conclusively than Zoo Station off '91's Achtung Baby. Kicking off with Gang of Four-esque ominous promise that points to something good, it swiftly explodes into a cacophony of could-only-be-fucking-U2 melody (bad), laden with The Edge’s favourite (only?) trick: GUITAR FXXXX. Bono’s voice then proceeds to swim through yet another murky effect as he performs his own favourite (only?) trick: raising his voice in an uplifting manner at the end of every word. An obligatory “ooh” delivered in a gut-wrenching falsetto attempts ...
