Walk the Moon is an American pop-rock band that hailed from Cincinnati, Ohio, and burst onto the music scene with infectious energy and catchy hooks. Formed in 2006 by lead singer Nicholas Petricca, the band solidified its lineup in 2010 with Kevin Ray on bass, Sean Waugaman on drums, and Eli Maiman on guitar. Walk the Moon garnered mainstream attention with the release of their hit single "Anna Sun" and subsequently achieved international fame with their anthemic track "Shut Up and Dance" in 2014, which was a chart-topper from their album "Talking Is Hard." Known for their dynamic live performances and 80s-inspired synth-pop sounds, Walk the Moon has become a mainstay in the alternative music scene.

Throughout their career, Walk the Moon has continued to evolve and experiment with their sound, crafting a blend of pop-rock that's both nostalgic and fresh. Their discography showcases an array of emotive and high-energy releases, as seen in more recent songs like "The Liftaway" and "Can You Handle My Love??" They maintain a commitment to introspective lyrics and vibrant melodies, inviting listeners to a sonic journey that oscillates between introspective ballads and fist-pumping anthems. Walk the Moon's dedication to connecting with their fans through music and memorable live performances has cemented their reputation as a band that truly shines both on stage and in the studio.
