NEW YORK, NY. (Top40 Charts/ AmieStreet Official Website) - 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.

"This is a very good organization that certainly deserves the attention."
