(PR) Sean Walsh and the National Reserve are an American indie-rock band. Steeped in the traditions of country, honky tonk, motown and classic rock 'n' roll, their debut full length--Homesick--is a catalog of heartbreak, highways, and the lonesome human condition. Homesick will be released July 14th on the band's own label, Lover's Dream Records.Written over the course of one month in Northern Ontario, Homesick was recorded at three locations in New York: Headgear Studios and Monster Land in Brooklyn, and Buddy Project in Queens. Co-produced and engineered by Kyle "Slick" Johnson (Modest Mouse, The Hives, Cymbals Eat Guitars, Fischer Spooner, Rogue Wave), Homesick also features vocal contributions from Michelle Casillas of Ursa Minor.
Sean Walsh is a busy frontman. After touring in support of his 2006 solo EP--American Music, released on Eyeball Records--and playing drums for a friend, singer/songwriter Essie Jain--Walsh found time to form a band: The National Reserve. Since recording Homesick they've toured the East Coast, Midwest and Canada--playing with bands like Dr. Dog, Vampire Weekend, Vandaveer, Laura Burhenns, and Hymns.
