From the Shelf: Walk Off The Earth - "R.E.V.O." (2013)

Short and sweet, R.E.V.O, the latest E.P. from Walk Off the Earth is a four song treasure. From the bold arena anthem of “Red Hands” to the refreshing island folk of “Summer Vibe” this short-play album is a joy to listen to all the way through.

Infected with a danceable beat that can’t be denied this collection is a celebration of life. Wonderfully arranged this band seems to have perfected the execution of its individual parts. With the strategic use of Sara Blackwell’s lovely voice paired with Ryan Marshall’s own rich gravel tones the lyrics are delivered with a wonderful contrast. While the instrumentally diverse choreography that propels these tracks swim with a wildly vivid strokes of sound. Known for their unique covers this E.P. is proof that their original material is just as interesting and creatively rewarding. With the eclectic heart of a Peter Gabriel album this musical tidbit will have you jonesing for a full length album, that with any luck, is looming in the not too distant future.

Walk Off The Earth - "Gang of Rhythm"



I have to admit that I've been addicted to Walk Off The Earth since watching the video for their a capella beat box version of Taylor Swifts "Knew You Were Trouble." Not to mention that I have a little bit of a musical crush on Sarah Blackwood from her work in The Creepshow and her solo projects. Their new EP R.E.V.O. is a golden nugget of originals well worth a listen.

Living Room Performance: Walk Off the Earth "I Knew You Were Troble"

Walk Off the Earth(Feat. KRNFX) -I Knew You Were Trouble




This video is AWESOME! Yes, it's a Taylor Swift song, but it becomes a whole new creature when preformed as an a cappella beatbox masterpiece.The Canadian based  Walk Off the Earth continues to skirt the boundaries between music and performance art redefining the concept of cover songs and music itself. Joining forces with beatbox extraordinaire  KRNFX to cover this pop radio hit has lead to yet another amazing web sensation.  It defies all human logic the sounds KRNFX is making with his mouth alone.You have to understand there's not a single instrument accompanying the band in this video.
