Band surprises fans with early release at special $5 price, With $5 going to benefit cancer research and treatment!The Walkmen released their highly anticipated new album today exclusively on AmieStreet.com as part of the website’s ongoing Download To Make A Difference campaign that launched earlier this month.
You & Me will be sold for a period of three weeks at the special price of $5. For each album purchased AmieStreet.com will donate $5 to a cause of personal significance to The Walkmen.
“All donations go to Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in honor of Luca Vasallo, a friend to the band and a current patient who is seven months old and doing a great job fighting a very difficult disease. This is a very good organization that certainly deserves the attention.”
The You & Me exclusive pre-release marks the second major release for AmieStreet.com's Download To Make A Difference campaign, which gives people the chance to support important causes by downloading new music.
