Walk The Moon is an indie pop-rock band from Cincinnati, Ohio, USA. It was formed in 2008 by Nicholas Petricca (lead vocal, synth, keys, bass drum), together with Kevin Ray as bassist, Sean Waugaman as drummer, and Eli Maiman as their guitarist.
Their first hit single was "Anna Sun" which was named by Esquire one of the "30 Summer Songs Every Man Should Listen To". It is a very bright and fun song, you can dance and sing along to it and for sure it will lift your mood up and brighten up your day. Petricca said that the song is about "maintaining that little bit of being a kid". Indeed, it is a great summer song or just all year round as a pick-me-up.
The band released their first album "I Want! I Want!" in 2010 and it got really good response as an independent album. Just last year, they signed up to RCA Records and released their first major-label album titled "Walk The Moon". Their first hit-single "Anna Sun" went on number 10 in US Alternative Chart and their second single "Tightrope" sat on number 15 of the same chart.
In terms of their live performance, I would say they were pretty amazing! They all came out in warpaint on their faces and played 6 to 7 songs in total. They were all very energetic, especially the lead singer, Nicholas Petricca. The quality of their performance was great. It sounded similar to the recording, no hit-and-miss, and they were dancing and jumping all around too. They were also really really friendly, they interacted a lot with the audience and seems very humble and nice. It was an amazing experience to be able to take part in their concert! (plus point: if this is important, they were very cute too, ladies!)
