Evol Walks
Our eclectic team of writers from around Australia – and a couple beyond – with decades of combined experience and interest in all fields.

Evol Walks are a hard rock, five-piece Melbourne band who have been making noise since arriving in early 2014.


The band have recently return from a European tour that included a main stage performance at Europe's largest music festival, Przystanek Woodstock, alongside Black Label Society, Dream Theatre, Within Temptation and Flogging Molly.

They're now touring to support their debut EP 'The Other Side', but not before they share their favourite quotes from 'This Is Spinal Tap' that actually apply to musicians in real life.

“You can’t really dust for vomit”

At some point on tour, someone, somewhere will have a little too much fun and will decide to drunkenly puke in a corner. You never really know who it is… Because, as the wise boys from Spinal Tap say: “You really can’t dust for vomit”.


“Well, I’m sure I’d feel much worse if I weren’t under such heavy sedation”

Doing a lot of travelling you’re bound to end-up feeling a bit under the weather. Sitting in a tour bus doped up on Codral Cold and Flu is never amazing, but at least you have a little something to soften the ouch!

“The sustain, listen to it!”

Even if the amp isn’t on, guitarists always love to feel like you can hear them… Especially when they’re doing a crazy warm-ups sans amplification backstage before a show. Trust us… we really can’t hear you.


“Fuck the napkin!”

We’re in a rock band! We don’t need f@#king napkins!

“Well, this piece is called ‘Lick My Love Pump'”

Every time we play something pretty…
