Australian-born, Los Angeles based artist Evol Walks has rapidly emerged as an energetic and enigmatic act to follow. With a healthy chunk of attitude, a dynamite lead singer and a predilection for time-honoured rock ’n’ roll, Evol Walks was originally formed in LA by flame-haired Australian-born Leah Martin-Brown. Having shared stages and lineups with the likes of Johnny Depp, Nita Strauss, The Killers, Everclear, The Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Nancy Wilson, Black Label Society, Within Temptation and many more, Evol Walks’ hard edge takes inspiration from rock legends.
Speaking about the new release, Leah shares, “Gun & a Crucifix is about the dichotomy between dark and light and the constant struggle for power between these two energies. When writing it, I was envisioning the inexplicable yet enigmatic pull of a Cult leader and exploring that a little. This song was a live song we have always played and I finally had the chance to work on it in Stockholm, Sweden this year with producer Chris Wetterström.”
Armed with an elevating soundscape that will instantly get you on your feet headbanging along to its infectious rhythm, ‘Gun & a Crucifix’ channels the energy of Halestorm while still sounding innovative and comes across a positive addition to the world of heavy rock.
