Biography

The Walls were formed by brothers Steve and Joe Wall in Dublin, after achieving critical and commercial acclaim with their previous band, The Stunning. They released their first album, Hi-Lo in 2000, which went gold in Ireland on the back of good airplay and constant touring. After sending copies of the album to U2, The Walls found themselves supporting them on a now legendary Slane Castle show. The follow-up LP, New Dawn Breaking went Top 5 and was a top-selling release of 2005 in Ireland. Hook-laden with infectious guitar riffs, this record made The Walls a household name in Ireland as the tunes made their way into a number of memorable TV commercials. “Their best work to date” according to The Sunday Times. After sharing stages with Bob Dylan and The Red Hot Chili Peppers amongst others, the band crossed the ocean.
Playing to full houses in New York, LA and Austin Texas at SXSW, The Walls came to the attention of renowned taste maker Nic Harcourt, who personally selected the band to perform live on his legendary KCRW show “Morning Becomes Eclectic”.
Over the following two years the band played throughout Europe. In 2007 Crowded House brought them to Australia as exclusive support on their massive re-union gigs in Sydney and Melbourne, after which the band returned home for a much-needed break and retreated into to the confines of their home studio to write.
