Walking Rumor describes themselves as energic nu- metal, heavily influences by the likes of Linkin Park, Limp Bizkit and Papa Roach. The band has played together for about 3 years and released a EP called ‘The War Within’ along with multiple singles called ‘Proud Of Me’, ‘Dedicate To This’ and ‘Tears Me Apart’. The band signed over Mighty Music back in april 2017 and had their first European tour supporting ILL NIÑO.
Question: What’s the origin of your band name?
Answer: When we first started looking for a band name, we wanted something that didn’t necessarily defined our genre. The inspiration came when Kenio and Blackie first stated that the band was now official and the members had been found. People had known them from their previous band and a rumor spread. I guess those rumors were worrisome (laughs) – Mad.
Questions: Where is the band based out and what is your music scene like there? Are there any local bands you could recommend?
Answer: We are home based in Odense, Denmark. Denmark isn’t much of a Rock´n Roll appreciated country. The festivals are more dominated by the pop/electronica genre. With that being said; the Danish culture is fighting back! We have a festival called Copenhell, which is a Heavy Metal/Rock´n Roll only festival. The upcoming culture is getting more popular by personal experience, which for us is a big plus but with a big mix in genre.
Bands we recommend from Denmark? Waow, too many to mention. We highly recommend our friends from Mighty Music, a band called LUCER. Also from our hometown – they’re still in their upcoming stage though, bands like Capital Of Nowhere and Slip The Void. – Kenio.
Question: How would you describe your style?
Answer: We feel like we are in constant development with our sound. Energetic nu- metal would be a good name for it. There is something for everyone. - Jazz
Question: What have you released so far and what can someone expect from your works?
Answer: We released an EP called ‘The War Within’ back in 2016 and since then we’ve released a few singles through our label Mighty Music called ‘Dedicate To This’ and ‘Tears Me Apart’.
You can expect something you might recognize if you grew up in the early 2000’s. We grew up during that time and our music is heavily influenced by that age of music but with a twist. – Blackie
Question: Do you have any new music in the works?
Answer: We are currently working on our upcoming debut album, that we hope to release early 2019. – Crash
Question: How about playing shows and touring, have anything planned out?
Answer: There is a potential tour in the works for the release of our coming album. For now, we focus on getting our album done, with a potential single release show in the fall. – Crash
Question: What plans do you have for the future as a band?
Answer: We constantly try to be realistic with our goals and not set our expectations too high. There is always this little kid inside us who wants that American Dream. We see the road to success as a latter, that you climb one step at a time. - Kenio
Question: Where can we listen to your band and where can we buy your stuff?
