Biography:

New York City anti-heroes, The Walk Ons, kick out supercharged,hook-riddled tunes that play on in
your head long after your ears stop ringing. Infusing garage-rock and power-pop influences like
The Strokes, Franz Ferdinand, Kings of Leon and The Hold Steady, The Walk Ons play timehonored Rock 'n' Roll, tight and loud with just the right amount of garbage.

Press:

“Make no mistake about it; We Did This On Purpose is a loud, hook-laden album with enough head shaking energy to power dorm parties well into the morning hours.”
ThePunkSite.com

“The Walk Ons play slinky, downtown stagger-rock somewhere between The Strokes and a knife-fighting gang of well-dressed art thieves. They specialise in big songs, bigger choruses, melt-in-your-mouth melodies, and a palpable sense of Saturday-night electricity.”
Classic Rock Magazine

“Any fan of funky distorted guitars and conventional song structures with choruses you can sing along to will love this.”
Adequecy.net

“This New York band is an electric kickback to old school rock ‘n’ roll, with heavy, powerful hooks and a fun loving attitude.”
amNY

“5 tracks of pure listening pleasure!”
Indie Arto Music

“The Walk Ons radiate a confidence that, despite their easy-going rock sensibilities, feels raw and unrestrained. The Walk Ons are without a doubt one of those “fun” bands.”
On The Tune

“Featured in Fox News' Gig Guide; "Hook-riddled rock with just the right amount of garbage - The Walk Ons won't disappoint you."”
Fox News/Palestra.net

"Rock, power pop, a little alt. Puts me in the mind of Elvis Costello meets the Knack meets Paul Westerberg/The Replacements...The band sounds tight."
