    <description>&lt;p&gt;Whitman is an indie Rock band from Austin, TX that have worked to establish the perfect blend of progressive soundscapes and loud, biting rock and roll. They combine a mix of melancholy lyrics, soulful howls, harmonizing guitars, ever shifting backing beats and haunting electric keys. Recorded in the Live Music Capital of the World during the Summer and Fall of 2007, comes Whitman's debut &quot;Torch Songs&amp;rdquo;, a record embodied by Whitman's unique approach and fiercely independent spirit. After the deserved success from their debut LP, Whitman is currently working on a follow up to build upon the sounds of their debut material. Fueled by an endless thirst for adventure, the support of college radio, and good ol&amp;rsquo; fashioned hard work, Whitman has consistently toured the nation creating a base of dedicated and loyal fans. By day you will find the members of Whitman at traditional day jobs all the while squeezing in time to book national tours and promote their true passion in life. Each night you will find Whitman working hard to become a rock n' roll band to be remembered.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
