Sir, We'll Meet Again by The Walt

I really love the energy and enthusiasm of the Walt, and just hope it's true when they say Sir, We'll Meet Again.

Disco by The Walt

One of the things I like about The Walt is the way each instrument seems to occupy it's own space. A clear guitar line twinkles over a distorted rhythm guitar and a catch bass in Disco, without any of the sounds blending into indistinguishability.

Hit Me by The Walt

Hit Me has all the traits that make The Walt so appealing. Every instrument comes through clearly, clearly enough to feel like you can pay attention to them all without losing track of the song as a whole. The vocals are delivered with infectious enthusiasm, and the tempo changes several times to keep you on your toes.

Playing Stellenbosch With The Boys by The Walt

Gotta love the Creative Commons. Beep! Beep! Back up the truck loves the creative commons, so most of the music there is free to grab and remix. The Walt's bass heavy punk is just some of the good stuff you'll find there. Playing Stellenbosch with the Boys stutters about its four minutes, but it does it with infectious energy and conviction.

Non-Threat by The Walt

There's a delicious irony to naming a noisy, energetic rock tune Non-Threat. The four and a half minute running time might wear you out, but the way the bass sticks out in the mix makes for a happy worn out.

Happily Ever After by The Walt

If what you want is super energetic indie-punk, turn to The Walt. They will leave your ears ringing Happily Ever After.

Little Sister by The Walt

Little Sister is one of those rock songs that rides along a simple, prominent bass line. The other main attraction is the passionate sing/scream of the lead vocal. Great for warming up the blood a bit.

Self-Reflective Temper Management by The Walt

I love the energy The Walt puts into all their songs. Self-Reflective Temper Management has all the energy its crazy title demands and then some.

Only Smoke by The Walt

There's something I can appreciate about a song as straightforward as Only Smoke. None of the playing is very complicated, and the song builds up by adding layers of guitar in predictable places. There's also something I can appreciate about a band that can ruin their attractively straightforward website with the message "Everything that was beautiful has been eaten by the monster" in big orange lettering in the background.

Note: That background message on their web page is actually randomly selected. Even better.

Second Note: The link provided leads to a download of a file called '3'. Rename it with a '.mp3' extension and it should work fine. In fact, it should work without renaming it, but your OS might not associate the file with your media player of choice.
