About Me


The Walls were formed from the ashes of 'The Stunning' by brothers Steve and Joe Wall in 1998. They started their own record label Dirtbird Records and released a string of singles as well as their first album 'Hi-Lo' in 2000. It went Gold in Ireland on the back of good airplay and constant touring. Their second album 'New Dawn Breaking' went Top 5 last year. "Their best work to date"-according to The Sunday Times. Some compared it to Wilco's 'A Ghost is Born'. It is amongst the top selling home releases of 2005. The Walls have supported the likes of U2, Bob Dylan and the Red Hot Chilli Peppers as well as touring regularly at home and abroad.
In March 2006 they went to the United States where they played to packed houses in New York, LA and Austin Texas as part of the SXSW Music festival. KCRW’s Nic Harcourt has been playing tracks from the album and invited the band to perform a live session on his show “Morning Becomes Eclectic”.
Since then they have gigged in the Czech Republic, Dubai and even the Bahamas. In Nov 2007 the band made their first trip to Australia where they supported Crowded House and promoted the release of New Dawn Breaking on MGM.
The band are currently writing and recording material for their third album.

Australia

Well, we're back a few weeks now and it's quite apparent to me, Australia is very far away. I've only just settled now as I arrived home to general chaos and didn't get time to de-pressurise. I didn't...

Dubai

The gig was good and the promoter was very sound and treated us well. But I didn't like Dubai. Bling is not my thing. They were advertising the Dubai Shopping Festival 2007 while we were there. A sho...
