вЂњOn this particular record, our goal was to try anything. Devoted is right the lineup hasnвЂ™t changed since 2010.Д§. After college, вЂњI had all this music and no band membersвЂ¦These guys, theyвЂ™re the cream of the crop and the most devoted,вЂќ he says. While their name may seem to have spread like wildfireВ overnight, the band has been around for quite a few years -В Petricca created it in college. Based on WALK THE MOONвЂ™s track record, thereвЂ™s no reason why their current single canвЂ™t follow the same path. The bandвЂ™s first track, вЂњAnna Sun,вЂќ made a big impact in 2011 as it wasВ declared one of the best songs of the summer by Esquire and otherВ publications. They are the kings of summer вЂ“ every summer. вЂњEven going into co-writing, we had to make sure the songs were coming from our heartsвЂ¦everything starts with us.вЂќДҐ. вЂњWe realized the idea of preserving the inner child, no matter how old you are, is very important to us.вЂќ Thanks to that idea, their songs translate perfectly to the stage and create an energetic atmosphere at each show.ДЄlong with fellow band members Kevin Ray (bass), Sean Waugaman (drums) and Eli Maiman (guitar), Petricca has his name on the writing credits forВ each song on their TALKING IS HARD album. вЂњFrom the very beginning, weвЂ™ve always just wanted to make people dance and feel good,вЂќ says Petricca. On their current tour, the band is covering вЂњAll These Things That IвЂ™ve DoneвЂќ by The Killers. Past live covers have included Talking Heads, Prince, David Bowie and Fleet Foxes. The bandвЂ™s covers areВ drawingВ a lot of attention online.В They have even launchedВ an InstagramВ seriesВ featuring a range of covers, fromВ Disney to Jimi Hendrix. It was a time that was such a celebration of the weird.вЂќ (Proving his point, their name was inspired by вЂњWalking on the MoonвЂќ by The Police.) вЂњBut this album in particular, definitely the вЂ80s and the early вЂ90s. вЂњWeвЂ™re inspired by all sorts of different decades,вЂќ says Nicholas Petricca, lead singer and keyboardist. TheyвЂ™re crossing throwback influences with modern styles.
