Not many strong, versatile girl-bands are still as successful as they are now, and from what I’ve seen, it’s just the beginning of their careers. Personally, Haim has become one of my favorite bands. With only vocals, a bass guitar, a keyboard, and percussion, the girls all aim to make their sound as natural as possible. The girls tend to stick to a more natural side, their music defined as more raw and unlike many artists and bands, they actually sound the same– maybe even better- live. In their first album Days Are Gone, released in September of 2013, their unique indie-pop vibe separated them from other girl-bands. Members Este, Danielle, and Alana Haim began making music at a young age, beginning with their family band “Rockinhaim.” Learning to play instruments when they were just infants, music has always been apart of the trio’s lives. The band, consisting of three sisters, have taken the world by storm. Overall, the bands’ sound and vibe really makes you appreciate the joy of attending a concert and letting yourself get lost in the music.įrom the roots of the San Fernando Valley to the top of the charts, Haim has become almost an overnight sensation. Petricca was extremely communicative with the audience, allowing the audience to chant along to the full rendition of Shut Up And Dance, the newest single from WTM.

Walk The Moon brought a lively sense of joy to their music and their entire show.

Colorful faces and bodies surrounded me while Petricca banged on a single solo drum, as the other members played electric guitars and a set of bass drums in the back. And in all honesty, I was definitely pleasantly surprised. This past summer, I actually had the priviledge of seeing them preform live during Panic! At The Disco’s The Gospel Tour. Their concerts tend to be more laid-back, and atmosphere that allows fans to relax and dance along to the music. The lively, youthful songs from the group of boys have attracted a fun-loving crowd, usually always showing up to concerts with colorful face paint and glitter on their bodies. WTM has travelled around with various bands over the past years such as Grouplove, Panic! At The Disco, Weezer, Fun., Young The Giant, and have even opened for Local Natives at the Lollapalooza Music Festival. The bands’ first album, T he Other Side: B-Sides and Rarities was released in 2009, followed by I Want! I Want! in 2010 and Walk The Moon in 2012. Releasing a total of three albums so far, their fourth album, Talking Is Hard, is supposedly being dropped this December. Members Nicholas Petricca, Kevin Ray, Sean Waugaman, and Eli Maiman have taken the indie scene by storm. Forming in 2008, Walk The Moon started out as a young, indie-pop band from the roots of Cincinnati, Ohio.
