"They released a string of great singles, from Bone Deep to To The Bright and Shining Sun and the brilliant Bird In A Cage. Those singles though, bright and radio friendly, perhaps belie the alternative streak that fed through the three albums the band released between 2000 and 2012.

Their debut, Hi-Lo, has just turned 20 and is a gem of a record. It marked a progression in the duo’s writing, adding some grit, sonic experimentation and lo-fi textures to their innate knack for writing songs bursting with melody." - Steve Cummins, Journalist.

 

THE WALLS – a brief biography - 2026

The Walls are an Irish rock band formed by brothers Steve and Joe Wall around 1998 following the break-up of their acclaimed previous band The Stunning. Blending melodic, edgy, alt rock, a wide array of influences and thoughtful songwriting, The Walls built a loyal following through acclaimed albums including Hi Lo, New Dawn Breaking and Stop the Lights. Their music has produced several hit singles, most notably “Bone Deep” and  "To the Bright and Shining Sun", which became one of the most successful Irish radio songs of the early 2000s. Renowned for their powerful live performances, edgy riffs and rich harmonies, The Walls have remained a respected and enduring presence on the Irish music scene.

Due to the various band members' involvements in other activities, The Walls stopped performing as a full band around 2013 and instead Steve & Joe often perform shows as a two-piece, sometimes adding guest musicians.
