The Walkmen's first three releases suggest the group has a decidedly descriptive moniker. The New York City-based indie rock quintet's occasionally murky, melodic sound may remind you of listening to a second-generation tape of a pop record on a portable device not quite fit to provide an optimal listening experience. (Unless you're 12, in which case pay no attention to the ads in the back of this paper.) The group has sharpened up a little on August's You and Me, though - vocals are clearer and arrangements slightly more complex. The band has a reputation for injecting real spirit into its live shows, so fans definitely have something to look forward to when The Walkmen play at Walter's on Washington today. The Little Ones and local bright spots The Young Mammals start things off. 9 p.m. 4215 Washington. For information, call 713-862-2513 or visit www.4215washington.com. $13 to $15.
