Walk The Moon transitioned from an indie rock band at Kenyon College to a Billboard-charting pop-rock group with widespread commercial success. After independently releasing their debut album I Want! I Want! in November 2010, Walk The Moon garnered significant attention for the track ‘Anna Sun,’ which received substantial airplay on alternative radio stations and was highlighted by influential music blog Neon Gold.
That same year, they contributed a cover of the iconic ‘Ghostbusters’ theme song to the film’s official soundtrack. In 2017, the band unveiled the single ‘One Foot,’ which quickly ascended to number one on the Billboard Alternative Songs chart, followed by their album What If Nothing. Their dynamic live presence continued, as they opened for Muse on the Simulation Theory North American tour in 2019 and performed at Houston’s Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center for the 50th anniversary of the Moon landing.
The band further expanded their discography with the release of Heights in 2021. In 2023, Walk The Moon announced an indefinite hiatus, marking a pause in their celebrated career. Concurrently with this announcement, they released The Liftaway, described by the band as a ‘farewell-for-now album,’ providing a capstone to their impactful discography and leaving a lasting legacy in pop-rock music.
