El Producto

Walt Mink is a ferociously tight New York-based trio
driven by John Kimbrough's sizzling guitar playing and
instantly memorable songs. Walt Mink's music appeals
to both the more melodic side of alternative as well as
more musicionly circles. El Producto is by far the band's
best and most accomplished album yet, veering from
incisive rock to gentler melodic moments, and proving
that Walt Mink will soon become o household name.
