WALRUS

RIP 2002-2008

About Me

Ladies and Gentlemen,
After six years Walrus have decided to call it a day.
Thank you to the fans for your support. Without you we wouldn’t have been able to rock so hard for so long. We had a good run.
We will be playing our final show at the Excelsior Hotel in Surry Hills on April 24. Get your butts down there!!!
Remember the good times,
Roland, Mark, Joel and Dan WALRUS
"WALRUS ARE UNREAL!...This band is going to be big keep an eye on them!" ANNANDALEHOTEL.COM.AU 09/04/06
"I love this song (War)....Great riffs, adventure and most importantly swagger." Mel In The Morning TRIPLE J 06/03/2007
"This EP is a sharp slap in the face to selfish human society. "- Kath Pollock RAVE 15/05/2007
"...You can only hope the real Armageddon sounds as good as this." Dom Allesio THE BRAG 12/12/2006
"Rock n Roll through and through but so thoroughly bent in their approach as to be unlike anything I have heard before. Very Worthy." THE BRAG 28/02/05
“The true bastard children of Sydney’s emaciated (non-indie) rocks scene : they’re hungry, mean and guarding a big sack of sharp retro-rock riffs.” – Lachlan Marks THE DRUM MEDIA 12/12/06
“You can tell these guys would be fantastic live” – Richard Kingsmill TRIPLE J
