The Next Album You Should Buy. (Or At Least Listen To.)

Check out Walk the Moon, a young, up-and-coming band from right here in Ohio! Great CD and amazing live show.

My monthly album review is in! The masses waiting by their iTunes accounts can finally know what to purchase! This month the album that you will regret if you do not own is Walk the Moon’s, I Want! I Want!

This album from beginning to end is fun, lyrically satisfying, deep in vocal texture and layering, and full of anthems that you will catch yourself repeating over and over again. I saw Walk the Moon at Bonnaroo musical festival this summer, and even with going up against heavy hitters like Arcade Fire, My Morning Jacket, and The Black Keys, Walk the Moon was resoundingly my favorite concert of the festival. I actually skipped Florence and the Machine to watch Walk the Moon’s second performance, and I considered it to be a more than fair trade off.

So if you can trust the opinion of a stranger, with the experience of seeing over 100 different live bands in his day, buy the album, learn the lyrics and take the time to see this young band at a small venue. I promise you will not regret it!  I really doubt that this band will be playing small venues for much longer, so take advantage and support local talent! One last thing — take the time after the show to hang around and meet the band. I met them after their performance on the Sonic Stage and they were very approachable, appreciative of the fans and I am sure they won’t mind if you stop and tell them how much you enjoyed the show!
