Hailing from the tiny Irish coastal town of Dingle, Walking on Cars are one of Ireland's best kept secrets. They've been selling out arena tours in the Emerald Isle for the past year, with almost every video they post receiving upwards of 400k views online (from their Irish audience alone). Not bad for a group of friends from a town with a population of 1500, that boasts a pet Dolphin (who answers to the name of Fungi) in its harbour and a hardware store that doubles as a late night drinking den.

Having met at school, lead singer Patrick, pianist Sorcha, lead guitarist Dan, bassist Paul and drummer Evan played their first ever gig at a youth cafe in their hometown of Dingle and a year later decided to break out and tour their music around the country. Needless to say it was hugely well received and the band began getting a lot of attention at Irish radio and on the live circuit.

Now signed to Virgin Records in the UK and for the world, Walking on Cars are about to take their soaring rock anthems to an international audience. The first single from their forthcoming EP is Hand In Hand, a knee-buckling example of rock balladry at its finest as booming guitar riffs collide with indelibly gentle piano melodies.
