They discussed the making of their new album, and described what it was like to write songs and record during this Covid era. We are pleased to do this new Q&A interview with Walk The Moon. The tour kicks off in Tampa, FL on September 21.

Now in 2021, the band has released the single “Can You Handle My Love?” plus two new songs, and they’re eager to get back on the road and launch their tour, called the Dream Plane Tour. Here’s the video of Walk The Moon’s new single, “Can You Although it was difficult to follow-up the mega-success of “Shut Up and Dance,” the album featured the #1 alternative hit “One Foot” and the chart single, “Kamikaze.” Also, the success of “Shut Up and Dance” propelled their album, Talking Is Hard, to platinum status.įor their next album, Walk The Moon released What If Nothing (in 2017). “Shut Up and Dance” was certified multi-platinum and reached #4 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, which was a rare achievement for a rock track. It was two years later that Walk The Moon became hugely popular with their global hit, “Shut Up and Dance.” The single was released in 2014, but it remained on the charts for over a year. Then in 2012, they released their second album ( Walk The Moon, on RCA), which included “Anna Sun” and their single, “Tightrope.” All three members contribute to the songwriting, with Maiman taking a larger role in the lyric writing for the new album.Īfter self-releasing their first album (called I Want! I Want!) in 2010, the band emerged with their first hit “Anna Sun,” which caught the attention of RCA Records. Hailing from Cincinnati, Ohio, Walk The Moon now consists of three members-Nicholas Petruccia (lead vocals, keyboards, synthesizer), Eli Maiman (bass, guitar, backing vocals) and Sean Waugaman (drums, backing vocals). The other two new songs are “Giants” and “I’m Good.” It’s clear that the band wanted to return with an uptempo, dynamic song that will make people feel good when they hear it. Their new single, “Can You Handle My Love?”, is an excellent, joyful song that sounds like a breath of fresh air, especially coming after everyone has experienced 18 months of the pandemic. If these three songs are any indication, the band is poised to release a strong new album. Walk The Moon has recently released three new songs that will be included on their upcoming album, which will be called Heights (on RCA Records).

Although best known for their platinum hit “Shut Up and Dance” (released in 2014), they have released a consistent flow of unique, upbeat, and entertaining songs during the past decade. Since the release of its major label debut album in 2012, Walk The Moon has been an acclaimed, high-energy, pop/rock band that has delivered radio hits as well as more experimental album tracks. l-r): Eli Maiman, Nicholas Petricca & Sean Waugaman
