Lyrics
Moon Walker’s first LP, Truth to Power, was a hit. The ten-track offering features an array of styles that spans the gamut, including a heavy dose of garage rock and the futuristic krout craze. With the help of producer Shawn Cole (Bend Sinister, You Say Party) and mixer Paul Boechler (Treelines, Sex With Strangers), Springer has created a collection of tracks that is as varied as they are engaging.
The most impressive track on the record is aptly named “Disturbed Suburbia,” which boasts an eye-popping 60s electric guitar riff that’s sure to get heads nodding and fists pumping. Drummer Sean McCarthy’s tightly arranged beats complement the song’s energetic chorus. Singer Harry Springer, meanwhile, takes center stage and delivers the goods in style.
The song’s sexy-sexy lyrics may be a bit over the top, but they certainly don’t get any less entertaining. With a hint of Bowie and Talking Heads, Moon Walker’s unique sound is the stuff that dreams are made of. Featuring a slew of impressive music videos, the band’s burgeoning following has lauded them as one of the top live acts around. They are currently touring with artists such as Justin Hawkins and have been a staple of the Canadian rock scene for the last two years. With their sophomore LP The Attack of Mirrors on the way, they are set to take their place in the ranks amongst the genre’s best and brightest. The band is rounded out by a core of talent that includes some of Vancouver’s finest musicians.
Music
Harry Springer and Sean McCarthy may have started a band in their bedrooms, but their music is so electric that it sounds like it was made for a stadium. It’s a mix of rock’n’roll, garage, and blues rock that’s sure to please old-school fans as well as the newer crowd.
Having taken inspiration from legends like Led Zeppelin, Talking Heads, and The White Stripes, Moon Walker brings together a fusion of thrashing guitar riffs and explosive drum grooves to create an alternative rock sound that is completely their own. They aren’t afraid to push the boundaries and say what they believe in, tackling issues such as media sensationalism and economic inequality in their music.
The lyrical themes of MOON WALKER’s newest release, Truth To Power, are both confronting and empathetic. The duo’s lyrics explore themes of religious control, media influence, indoctrination, and classism.
While the lyrics are a bit more sarcastic, they are still confrontational and make bold statements about societal greed and discomfort. They’re also willing to tackle controversial topics that many other bands would turn away from, such as self-destruction.
They’re not afraid to stand up and speak their mind, which is a sign of how passionate they are about their music. In fact, they’re so passionate about it that they’ve even filmed a music video for “Light Burns Out.”
Their newest single, “Disturbed Suburbia,” takes a look at their childhood in a privileged suburban area. It reflects on their upbringing in a way that isn’t just a nostalgic look at their past, but a reflection of what it takes to be well-adjusted today.
With a sonic fusion of elements that are both modern and nostalgic, Moon Walker’s latest track is the perfect combination of psychedelic blues rock and abrasive hard rock. With flawlessly executed rock’n’roll riffs and plenty of fuzz distortion, it’s a track that will have both old-school and newer fans of the genre enthralled.
Currently touring as a two-piece, Moon Walker is preparing for the release of their sophomore album, The Attack Of Mirrors, due out October 21. The album will include ten eclectic tracks that are sure to keep fans on their toes.

With a sound that fuses the glam of Bowie with the avant-funk of Talking Heads, Moon Walker’s Harry Springer brings a unique blend of sonic influences to his debut seven-track EP. On his sophomore album, The Attack Of Mirrors, Springer elevates his music to an eclectic ten-track odyssey.
Throughout the entire album, Springer explores themes of redefining identity and exploring a new sense of self through a combination of eclectic genres. From the thrashing garage rock of “I’m Not a Robot” to the political commentary of “Creepy Crawler” to the uplifting “Truth to Power,” Springer takes on the subject matter of today’s world and puts it through his own sonic filter, delivering a deeply personal record that is at once heartfelt and exhilarating.
While Moon Walker’s original 7-track EP was a success on the viral video-making app Tik Tok, it was his second album that really put the spotlight on him and his distinctive sound. On The Attack Of Mirrors, Springer continues to elevate his unique sound while expanding on the poignant, timely lyrics that made his first effort so successful.
The first segment of the movie is a live performance of the song “Man in the Mirror” from the Bad World Tour. It also includes clips from Wembley Stadium and other sites, as well as a montage of historical figures including Martin Luther King Jr., Mother Teresa, Mahatma Gandhi and others.
