The Walt ‘Demo of the Month’

The prestigious German music magazine Visions declared The Walt’s EP ‘Something we did not have’ the Demo of the Month in the january edition. We are very pleased with this win, especially since the honour is normally reserved for German bands only. Read the very pleasant review here.

The Netherlands-Drive-In. Legitimate heritage or well listened? The Walt pleases.

We have to admit – for this 5-Track-Demo we’ve looked beyond our country’s borders. But The Walt from Utrecht is simply too good to restrain.

So we’ll allow this cross-border traffic and talk a bit about this superb Postrock-Postcore-Mixture, in which the great melodies are cleverly staged, always thundering towards a manic but not hyper-intellectual peak which turns out to be danceable too, like Dartz!

Add some sound barrier conquering vocals, which remind us of Cedric Bixler-Zavala. It’s obvious these four gentlemen learned their trade in their previous bands. Also, for a demo ‘Something we did not have’ is remarkably well mixed. And the best for last – for the curious among us: the demo is still available as a free download on beepbeep.nl
