Four years ago, I went to my friends’ wedding and the DJ played Shut Up and Dance. I was like who is this band? I totally love them. When I sobered up, I downloaded a bunch of their songs and have been a fan of Walk the Moon ever since.
Today, the band released their newest single and you will eat your heart rocking out to Eat Your Heart. So shut up and dance to it. I know I am.
If the tune is not cool enough, then what about the fact that they made this music video by themselves. That means we get the real vibe of how Nicholas Petricca (singer/keyboardist), Kevin Ray (bassist), Eli Maiman (guitarist), and Sean Waugaman (drummer) feel about the single and not some director who does not know them as well as they know themselves. Not only that we get to see their cute furbabies. Why don’t more musicians include their sweet dogs in their videos?
Back to the dogs, is just me or doesn’t Roxy look just like her dad Petricca? And don’t you just want to kiss Ray’s little boy Harvey? That face! All four of them are just so arfdorable.
Walk the Moon is on tour, so you can hear their old hits, their newest one Timebomb and this song live. To see where they are playing, then click here!

The other day Walk the Moon was on The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon. After they were done performing on the NBC late night show, they asked them to do a cover of their choice.
They pop group chose to Adele’s Someone Like You and made it their own. They started out harmonizing the first verse perfectly and then they added in some instruments to make the melancholy song less sad.
It is a much different take than the original, but it is just as beautiful. It doesn’t reach into your core and rip out your heart, but it helps you remember a past relationship fondly instead of with heartbreak.
I remember when my friend heard the Dixie Chick’s cover of Landslide, he said it takes 3 singers harmonizing to equal the power of Stevie Nicks’ voice. That is kind of how I felt about Walk the Moon doing Adele because she has one of the most powerful voices ever to grace our ears.
