W.A.L.K.E.R. is a hard rock band based in Dublin, Ireland.
The band is composed of Glen Walker on lead vocals and guitar, Kelan Hughes on lead guitar and Ali Cruz on drums. They are accompanied by their resident session player Peter Jordan on bass.
The band produce a thick, riff driven, good time hard rock sound with influences from late 80’s rock bands, but are still firmly rooted in the new generation of hard rock.
The band released their first single "Time To Party" in June 2017, which was mixed by producer Michael Wagener who has worked with bands such as Metallica, Ozzy Osbourne, Skid Row and many more. The single reached number 2 in the Irish rock charts and received air play in multiple countries such as Ireland, UK, USA, Australia and more. This propelled the band back into the studio to record their debut EP “Bringing Rock Back” which was also mixed by Wagener. The bands latest achievement is signing a publishing deal with "The Evolving Music Company” under license to Sony/ATV music publishing. This came about after Denis Desmond, owner of MCD productions and chairperson of Live Nation UK heard the EP. W.A.L.K.E.R. joins the roster with artists such as Hozier who is also with the company. The band are currently writing their debut album and plan to record in late 2019. There are three main things that define W.A.L.K.E.R. Good songs, a high energy and entertaining live show and a “fans come first” attitude. Bringing Rock Back is more than a statement.... It's a promise. Bringing Rock Back CD
