Leeds based indie rock quintet.

1. WALK THE MOON is a soulful indie-rock band of boys from Cincinnati, Ohio, whose sound evokes traces of the Police, XTC, ELO, Squeeze, and the Killers. Nicholas Petricca, 21, sings lead, writes, and plays keyboards, synth, and FRICKIN’ KEYTAR. He and Adam Reifsnyder (bass, vocals), after playing and writing together in various groups since 2006, formed the band in January 2008. I met the both of them at school, where we sang in rival a capella groups.
