Thundering through the night with rose tinted glasses, Night Walks summons the kind of unapologetic wide-screen arena rock primed to take that last-call feeling through the break of dawn. Hailing from Baltimore, Maryland, the band began as an excuse to combine cheap beer and living with escapism from their collective millennial mess. Before long they emerged with a sound recalling the long drives and the final drags of that last cigarette, combining the space-laced swagger of David Bowie, the anthemic energy of Bruce Springsteen, and the synth-soaked heartland rock of The War On Drugs.

Formed in late 2020, Night Walks features singer and guitarist David French, bassist Sam Hughes, multi-instrumentalist Shawn Korkie, and drummer Alex Kohler. The group came together at the height of the pandemic, breaking early ground by transporting David’s brooding bedroom demos into an alternate reality, where the chords are massive and drenched in neon lights.
