We define ourselves through what we have and deny what we could be expresses the frustration of singer Dave, caused by this increasing competition on social status and career pressure we all have to face in our lives. Hardcore stands for an alternative community, which should be a place besides forced norms and values of society, with free space for thoughts, individuality and self expression. People are caught in a daily routine of their lives, a vicious circle built on work, apathy and consumption.
The name WITHIN WALLS describes this prison people are living in and the message of the band aims on breaking out of this cycle.
For these boys the lyrics and its meaning are as much important as the moshparts and stylish clothes, which have become mainstream to the current hardcore scene.
WITHIN WALLS was founded in October 2005 by Seb and Dave. They joined forces with Katch (drums) and wrote a demo, entitled 1.
After some line up changes Gilli Edge became bassplayer and constant bandmember.
In summer 2006 they recorded their first 7"/CDep which was released on BLACKTOP RECORDS. To promote this first release WITHIN WALLS went on a 2 week European Tour in September 2006, which lead them through various European countries.
Unfortunatly line up problems made it hard for the band to go on with this fast course.The split 7" with NOTHING GOLD CAN STAY will hopefully see daylight soon. It features 2 new songs of both bands. The full length record is scheduled for Spring 2008. Expect more 90´s than before in WITHIN WALLS sound, expect something else to what most bands are doing. WITHIN WALLS found a path of their own and they will keep track on that one by holding on unweakend.
