The Walkmen have broken up, according to bassist

The Walkmen, everyone's favorite indie band of 2004, have broken up gone on "extreme hiatus" according to bassist Peter Bauer.

We have no future plans whatsoever. I'd call it a pretty extreme hiatus," Bauer said in an interview with the Washington Post 

The member of the band behind "The Rat" claims the outfit has already fizzled out.

"I don't think any of us wanted to write another Walkmen record. Maybe that will change down the line, maybe it won't, maybe we'll play shows. I think it's weird to make a hubbub about something if there's nothing to really make a hubbub about. At the same time, I don't think we've been a gang properly for a long time, so there's not much to break up, I guess."

RIP The Walkmen. You'll always be "that band who did that one song" to us.
