Gig Review: Walking on Cars @ O2 Forum, Kentish Town
You might remember that we featured Walking on Cars' debut album "Everything This Way" as our Album of the Week a few weeks back and it got a massive reception! So we decided, why not travel to the UK and do a review of the band's biggest headline gig in London? In hindsight, it was one our better decisions.
The guys were absolutely incredible live and completely stole the show. I guess from an Irish point of view, there is always that sense of pride when you see people in other countries warming to an Irish band and on numerous occasions, I got shivers down my spine.
Walking on Cars played an array of tracks from their album, with "Speeding Cars", "Flying High Falling Low" and "Catch Me If You Can" proving to be real crowd pleasers! They also revealed plans to release more music in the not too distant future and performed one of those new tracks, which appeared to go down well with the fans!
London's gig was just the second show of their UK Tour, having played in Brighton the night before. It also marks what will be the start of a crazy few months for the band who will be playing gigs and festivals across Ireland, Austria and the UK to name but a few! You can find all details on their website www.walkingoncars.com
Also, a quick word for the support acts, who were also incredibly talented! First up was Will Joseph Cook whose music is generating a great buzz, particularly over in the UK and I have to say I am a big fan of his four track EP!
The second support act was a band called Causes who met Walking on Cars over in Germany and having listened to their album when I got home, I truly think they are destined for bigger and better things very soon!
