The Walk Ons

about

Brooklyn's anti-heroes, The Walk Ons, kick out supercharged, hook-riddled tunes that play on in your head long after your ears stop ringing. Bringing to mind garage-rock and power-pop bands like The Strokes, Kings of Leon, Franz Ferdinand and The Hold Steady, The Walk Ons play time-honored Rock 'n' Roll, tight and loud with just the right amount of garbage. The Walk Ons' recent release, Awkward Brunch, loosely documents their boozy misadventures navigating the post-bohemian social landscape of Manhattan's Lower East Side. The album’s bittersweet interpersonal themes are conveyed through thoughtful, relatable lyrics, well-honed riffs and lean, rocking bass and drums. Standout tracks on Awkward Brunch include nightlife anthem, "Party Mix" and melodic rocker, "Missed Opportunity," both of which have received airplay on college and commercial radio. The 5-song EP was produced by New York underground rock legend, Dean Rispler (Bad Wizard, The Little Killers) and recorded and engineered by Jesse Cannon (The Cure, Animal Collective). The Walk Ons released a new EP in January 2010 titled "We Did This On Purpose," again produced by Rispler and mixed by Cannon. The album was released through Drug Front Records with "Forget You" as the lead single. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
