About Walk Off the Earth
Hailing from Burlington, Ontario Walk Off the Earth are comprised of 3 members, all with extensive backgrounds in the Canadian music scene - usually behind the scenes as writers or producers. In two short years, the band sold over 2000 CD’s through their own label, SlapDash Records while sharing the stage with noteworthy outfits like Bedouin Soundclash, K-OS, Ill Scarlett, The Johnstones, and many more! Their sophomore album, ‘My Rock’, is due in 2009 and will take off where their charming reggae-rock debut Smooth Like Stone on a Beach took off! Taking cues from legends before them like; The Clash and The Police - it’s just a matter of time before we’re all humming their infectious melodies down the street on the way to work! Walk Off the Earth will join Warped Tour this year for a few dates and tour their new release. Expect to hear more from these cats.
“The tracks recorded for Smooth Like Stone On A Beach showcase solid musicianship and a keen sense of pop sensibility but the humour and energy of WOTE’s ska-tinged reggae rock is undeniably infectious. The fact that these guys are professional party makers oozes on every track.” - View Magazine
Everyone loves a good stoner band, which is why Walk Off The Earth's sophomore album, My Rock, warrants some serious summer spin time. Their smooth reggae music is perfectly chill and collected, best suited for party campfires and backyard barbeques. It's a much stronger effort than their debut, Smooth Like A Stone On The Beach, which was packed with memorable tracks but not the star power of this release. My Rock finds the band moving in a more imaginative and solid direction, where the reggae is balanced with soothing melodies, smart lyrics and tangy guitars. "Money Tree" best emphasizes their harmonious side, "Julia" and the re-recorded "Broke" show off their penchant for summer beats, and their cover of Treble Charger's "Red" shows their ability to take something beautiful and add their flavour. This is definitely a record to bring to the cottage this summer. (SlapDash)
