DARKHORSE OF WOODSTOCK, FROM POLAND TO MITCHELL CREEK: EVOL WALKS KICK OFF AUSTRALIAN TOUR
Gold Coast rock goddess Leah Martin-Brown flew the coop last year. Now based in LA with her band Evol Walks, she’s spread her wings and hasn’t looked back. Except for frequent homecomings for gigs.
We catch up at BIGSOUND, where Leah is just another punter with a shock of gorgeous red hair. She’s champing at the bit to tell me about her adventures and I couldn’t be more stoked.
n the wake of their much-appraised stint at Woodstock Festival in Poland, unsigned Aussies Evol Walks have announced a soon-to-be-released debut EP and east-coast launch tour.
BIOGRAPHY
Evol Walks are a hard, hitting five -piece Australian rock and roll band who have been making a lot of noise since exploding onto the scene in early 2014.
Earmarked by industry tastemakers as a band to watch, Evol Walks are a blend of classic, riff driven rock and roll distinguished by raw, powerful female vocals and blistering guitar riffs. “If Greenday and Joan Jett had a kid- it would be Evol Walks” (Jon Lee, HKG FM)
After the band were invited to record their debut EP with award-winning producer Brian Howes (Airbourne, Daughtry, Simple Plan, Hinder), they were invited to launch their uniquely raw, rock n roll style at the prestigious Global Rock Summit at Musexpo held at the famous Roosevelt Hotel in Hollywood, California in 2014. Spending the bulk of 2014 in the studio honing their sound, Evol Walks released their first single ‘Heartbreakin’ Woman’ to the public in September 2014. It was picked up for regular rotation on Triple M in Australia as well as receiving airplay on other commercial, community and Internet radio stations worldwide.
February 2015 saw Evol Walks return to their homeland, Australia, to release their hotly anticipated second single ‘Buzzed’, which was named as one of the Top 4 releases to commercial radio by the industry website ‘The Music Network’ . They went on to say- “Buzzed comes at you in spurts of unapologetic raw epics. It’s Monster Magnet at their most accessible, Stone Sour before the first breakup – it’s nuanced and decisive.”
In support of this single, Evol Walks embarked on a 14- date tour of Australia which included a support slot for up and comers ‘The Lazy’s’.
Having just wrapped up a showcase tour of Europe, which included at gig at Europe's largest music festival- Przstanek Woodstock alongside Black Label Society, Flogging Molly and Dreamtheatre, Evol Walks are back on Australian soil to launch their Debut EP 'The Other Side' and hit the road on a 10 date Aussie tour, kicking off on the 19th of September with a headline spot at Mitchell Creek Rock and Blues Festival on the Sunshine Coast. The band will then head back to the USA to continue touring/achieving world domination.
