EP REVIEW: Evol Walks – Our Time Is Now

[self released] - January 18th 2019

Evol Walks - Our Time Is Now

 

Gold Coast rockers Evol Walks have recently released their stunning second EP entitled ‘Our Time is Now’, showcasing seven new songs that the band, who are now based in LA, has penned & recorded and is a strong follow-up to their 2015 release ‘The Other Side’.  Jake Pitts (Black Veil Brides) and Travis Miguel & Dan Jacobs (Atreyu) have contributed with co-writing credits, as well as Melbourne’s Tim Henwood (The Superjesus, Palace of the King), who has co-written the latest single release ‘The Fire’.

The EP kicks off with the dynamic ‘Give It To Me’ with its crunching riffs and catchy rock n roll rhythm work, with vocalist Leah Martin-Brown easing us into the wonderful collection of songs that follow.  Slide guitars open the next track, ‘The Fire’ which is one of the highlights of this release for me, with its sing-a-long chorus (a crowd pleaser for sure) and certainly one you would expect to get plenty of airplay worldwide.  ‘Burning in Silence’ is another track that immediately entraps you with its likable drum beat & bass line and is a song that again highlights Leah’s vocal strengths.

Destination Nowhere’ & the title track ‘Our Time is Now’ would be at home being sung on any arena stage around the world, as they again highlight the bands strengths to produce catchy riff-laden rock that will please fans both old & new. ‘Up All Night’ & ‘Surrender’ close the EP and with the bands influences ranging from AC/DC to Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Joan Jett, Stone Sour & Monster Magnet, there really is nothing not to like about this release.  Hopefully the collection of songs here will get the well-deserved attention & airplay that they deserve.

Produced by Erik Ron (Godsmack, Sylar, Slaves, Motionless in White) and featuring killer guitar work from Kevin Thrasher (Escape The Fate), ‘Our Time Is Now’ is full of energy and quite simply, rock ‘n’ roll at its finest.  Evol Walks are Leah Martin-Brown (vocals), Dre DiMura (guitar), Logan Nikolic (guitar), Eliot Lorango (bass) & Jimmy Lee (drums).
