“Slow Walker came upon the Earth from a multi-dimensional void, in search of the green goddess. They offer harmonic resonance, and only ask for love in return.” Slow Walker’s initial 2011 release — Good For Business — burst onto the scene with its intense punk n roll sound, filled with plenty of pent up energy and just enough sweetness (to sound more melodic than most) and with an added balance of grunge and psych to keep listeners satiated and on their toes. 2016’s quartet lineup of Andy Patterson, Justin Harris, Nick Fulsher and Sam Reitman will see the release of a new cassette on Stale Heat Records (Robert Plantain’s Grunge Lords Vol. 1) and hopefully a continuation of the increasingly psych-ier output (as evidence by their 2014 s/t LP). Slow Walker, alongside likeminded Milwaukee bands — Midnight Reruns, Rashita Joneses, Drugs Dragons and Platinum Boys — are all creating a beer-drenched and sparkling, but muddy, sound that is becoming synonymous with a new generation of Milwaukee rockers.
