__EXCLUSIVE__ Download Walk Off The Earth Songs

Walk off the Earth was formed in 2006 in Burlington, Ontario, Canada. The band began releasing music independently and created a variety of cover versions of songs including The Gregory Brothers. In early 2012, the band's live cover of Gotye's "Somebody That I Used to Know" on YouTube gathered over 175 million views in a mere four months,[2] receiving positive reviews from both Gotye and his co-singer on the song, Kimbra.[3][4] The band released an accompanying video in which all five members are shown playing on the same guitar simultaneously. The production was taken from the 26th cut of a 14-hour session. Ellen DeGeneres featured the band on her January 23, 2012, show where they played live, again on one guitar; the group was also included in YouTube Rewind 2012 "Rewind YouTube Style 2012", doing a part of its one-guitar acoustic version of "Gangnam Style".

In February 2012, the band signed a recording contract with Columbia Records.[1] The members appeared in the Season 4 premiere of CTV's The Listener, performing two songs and socializing with the main characters in the bar. They also covered "Rude" by Magic!, "Hello" by Adele, "Party Rock Anthem" by LMFAO, "Payphone" by Maroon 5, and "Roll Up" by Wiz Khalifa.[5][6]

The album was recorded in Abbey Road Studios in London over a period of two weeks. The band entered the studio with ten songs and produced them with Dave Cobb. The song "GTO" originates from a riff composed by John Norum. The band was looking for an up-tempo song for the album, so Norum presented his idea for the riff. He worked on that riff with Cobb in the studio and later Joey Tempest co-wrote the lyrics with Cobb. Lyrically, it became a song about cars, love of the road and freedom. Musically, it was influenced by Deep Purple, particularly by their 1972 hit "Highway Star". The song "Pictures" originates from an idea that Tempest had in mind for some years. He had half of the verse in his head for a while and, a few weeks before the final rehearsal, while at his parents' house, he wrote the second part of the verse. After that, he presented it to the band and producer and they all loved it because it was different. Lyrically, the song is a sequel to the band's 1986 hit "The Final Countdown". The band co-wrote it with musician Aaron Raitiere, a friend of Cobb's from Nashville; Tempest wrote the lyric about what happened to the people who left the ground in 1986 and headed for Venus. "Wolves" is a political song about a whistleblower who had to move away with his family because he told the truth about something; the lyrics mention metaphorical wolves, which are hounding him in a situation where nobody trusts anybody. The intro to the song was done with an old recording technique on an old tape recorder; Tempest's vocal range and the arrangements are also different from the rest.

Tempest originally had in mind for a band to do a concept album, but after a while he realised that Europe is a rock band after all, so he and the band decided to have every song unfold in the studio, where they wrote and arranged everything together. Joey originally wanted to do some research, so he met a college professor to learn from him about how democracy as we see it today came to be, where and how and when it happened at different points of time. However, Tempest's research was limited and just a few songs touched upon political themes, namely "The Siege", "Kingdom United", "Wolves" and "Election Day".[4][5] The song "The Siege" is about the events in the French Revolution, when Napoleon started to defeat the aristocrats, marking the start of democracy started France. "Election Day" is an observational song about elections going on simultaneously in the United States and England. Chris Difford, from the band Squeeze, helped Tempest co-write the lyrics on "Election Day" and "Kingdom United". The song "Turn to Dust" musically originates from an idea by keyboardist Mic Michaeli. The band had tried to work it out for each of their previous albums, but this time Tempest actually managed to push the band to finish the song. The song title is also Michaeli's idea. Lyrically, the song is warning people to not waste their time. Tempest explained: "I may have forgotten to send those letters and say those words to people I know, but there's still a chance to do it. It was a great ending to the album". On the album, the song ends abruptly in the very middle on the main riff [in a style vaguely reminiscent of the ending to The Beatles' 1969 song "I Want You (She's So Heavy)]", and it is followed by a very short instrumental track with no title, also by Michaeli, which sounds like it was recorded in the 1930s. "Walk the Earth" is a positive rebirth song.

The album cover features original artwork by Los Angeles artist Mike Sportes, from the Filth Mart design group. A few days into the recording of the album, Dave Cobb came one day into the studio wearing a t-shirt with one of Sportes's designs on it. The band members were impressed by the design; they contacted Sportes and asked him if he was interested in designing the album cover. After he agreed, they sent him the lyrics and the titles of the songs as well as their thoughts about covers they liked, including Pink Floyd album covers. Sportes sent the artwork back to the band and they tweaked it a little bit. Joey Tempest later explained the album cover: "For us, it just worked so well, this character walking into some sort of light or another place. I loved the grid on there, like walking the mountains, the earth and the sky. And the triangle which we have used for so many things, it's a beautiful symbol. We love the triangle. During 'The Final Countdown' tour we had three triangles above us when we played and on the flip side of 'The Final Countdown' album and on 'Prisoners In Paradise' we had a triangle".[5][2]

BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:

Ontario-based group Walk Off The Earth formed in 2006, covering famous pop tunes and producing low-budget videos on YouTube. They gained popularity when their version of Gotye's "Somebody I Used To Know" went viral, earning them praise from Gotye himself for their unique approach to the song, nicknamed "Five Peeps One Guitar". Since their internet success Walk Off The Earth released their 2013 debut R.E.V.O to widespread acclaim and earned four Canadian Radio Music Awards along with a CASBY Award.

FANS WHO BOUGHT TICKETS SAY:

"The band themselves were amazing. Constantly switching up instruments and vocalists. The songs were fantastic. Would definitely recommend this band!"

"Wasn't familiar with Walk Off the Earth, but we liked what we saw -- an awesome performance, high energy, and non-stop. They're all multi-talented, and they clearly give it their all."

"This was an absolutely amazing show. Would definitely go and see again."

Absolutely the best show I've been too! My 8 year old Brayden joined me backstage to meet the band. He was so happy to meet WOTE, and so was I. This band means the world to myself and my family. To kick off our wedding reception, my wife and I walked into REVO. To meet them, was an absolute dream for both of us, and my son has an experience he will truly never forget! Thank you so much to the band for being so great! He also thinks we are famous cause we made it waiting in line for our meet and greet on the bands snapchat video! I'm happy like a room without a roof!

Europe's post millennial output has greatly benefitted from the band taking inspiration from all the right places. Earlier, I mentioned Deep Purple In Rock, and Walk The Earth doffs it's cap to that era of Purple very efficiently. Mic Michaeli has a deep, satisfying and Jon Lord-esque organ presence on this album, very much removed from the farty synth sounds present on The Final Countdown. In fact, this is a very good example of a well produced modern era rock album. Dave Cobb has done a great job here, enhancing these songs with a meaty, gritty and well balanced sound. It's 40 minutes long too, so no filler songs or pointless noodling pushing the thing well past the hour mark.

Andrew Bramah: I saw them on the tour for this album. Whilst they are still a formidable live band they are caught in that trap where they are "obliged" to include several songs from their "golden era" in the set list. Some of which haven't aged well. The result is a hybrid set of songs that aims to please everyone. That's a shame as the recent albums are every but as good as their classic stuff. Luckily they haven't fallen onto the trap of making the same album over and over till they become characatures of themselves.

The musicianship was more than competent but what impressed me was the songwriting - not the lyrics, I seldom pay attention to lyrics although the bit about Agincourt and Waterloo being about fighting for freedom made me wince a bit. I mean the way the songs were put together, some really nice touches to lift them above the ordinary and add some interest. I liked the strings and choir, have done ever since Stargazer and the string section of the Munich Philharmonic, and in my opinion they were used to good effect here. 2351a5e196
