For what it is worth, Theory of A Deadman would become the first signee on Chad Kroeger’s 604 Label. Oh, you’re right, that doesn’t mean that much does it?
The Walkmen personified Indie Rock and Garage Rock exceptionally well but like any band that has an “Indie” label associated with it you can expect that they did not sell that many records. That may be true, but this was a very good band that was excellent for what it was.
With their two part vocal harmonies and introspective and brooding lyrics is this the band that would exist should the Everly Brothers and the Velvet Underground have a child? Musical metaphors aside, the Raveonettes put forth a musical catalogue that made many musical pundits look at Copenhagen for more acts like them.
