The band recentlyreleased their third album StopThe Lights on their own imprint Dirtbird Records and, just like theirpredecessors, it hit the Top 20 in Ireland on the back of three strong singlesand regular airplay. Stop TheLights equally tasteful and subtle production reveals new layers ofsonic detail with each listen, and the album further demonstrates The Walls’considerable strengths as writers, arrangers and lyricists. The songs areeasily their finest to date, combining flawless, imaginative melodies withbeautifully constructed harmonies, and showcase a great band at the peak oftheir powers.

Over the past few years, The Walls music has featured in numerous movies, TV series andcommercials (brands such as Guinness, British Telecom, Aer Lingus, MTV to namea few).
