I wrote about Evol Walks way back in 2016, excited about their classic rock sound. But then the Gold Coast band kind of fell off my radar. They’re well and truly back on it with the release of their new EP Our Time is Now.
The EP showcases a much harder rock sound than their earlier material, one that’s much fresher. While I loved an early single “Without Me,” it was a bit of a throwback to the power ballad era. The band, now based in Los Angeles, has found their own sound here, and it rocks.
Evol Walks have surrounded themselves with the right people. There are tracks here co-written with Jack Pitts from Black Veil Brides, Travis Miguel and Dan Jacobs from Atreyu, and Tim Henwood from the Superjesus and Palace of the King. But Evol Walks do most of the heavy lifting. Lead singer Leah Martin-Brown is a true rock dynamite and she’s ably supported by her tight band. Take a listen to the title track “Our Time is Now” and just try to resist seeking out the rest.
Our Time is Now is out now on all your favourite digital platforms.
