We hit Vegas for the bank holiday last weekend, and while listening to The Killers as we cruised into the Sin City was a little too cliche even for us, we found the next best thing in Walk The Moon via our friends at All Things Go. Formed in 2009 in Cincinnati over a mutual love of Local Natives and Animal Collective, they combine the nowhere town ambition and anthemic hooks of their aforementioned Sam's Town forefathers with an endearing Midwestern charm and a knack for addictive pop melodies. "Anna Sun" is the triumphant lead single off of their 2010 self-released full length debut i want! i want!, and with its stadium-sized chorus and brilliant accompanying music video it's one of the biggest songs we've heard from an unsigned band in an age, the kind of stuff British A&R dreams and major label bidding wars are made of. The band play NYC tonight at 9pm at Pianos, any A&R's who aspire to be good at their jobs might want to be in attendance.

Why would you try and encourage the major label hype? If they are that amazing, why not just sign them to Neon Gold bro?
So fucking spot on with this one. Their live show feels like it would be the One -- so disappointed I can't be at Pianos tonight
you really are a twat Derek
Walk The Moon NEEDS to get signed, they deserve it. Such an amazing sound shouldn't be kept only in the Midwest.
doesnt sound like Neon Gold to me :(
Please make this a song a Neon Gold release. Would love to have this on a 7''.
This song IS GOOD, but doesn't sound like a Neon Gold release.
