Walt Disco

Walt Disco is a Glasgow-based band that works within a style that crosses between glam and new wave (of the new romantic type), not missing the chance to also adopt a flamboyant look for a complete picture. Think Adam Ant mixed with some New Order and David Bowie, and add the look and feel of Marc Almond at his youthful peak. Musically, the band is fairly solid on all fronts. The rhythm section lays down the beats and maintains their essential danciness whether the song dives into the disco waters or playing it cool with their glam flavored new wave. Vocalist James Patter brings the mid '70s to mid '80s period of David Bowie to mind both in tone and in his stylistic choices. The synths and the guitars add a big, anthemic quality to the songs, and they do so without taking anything away from their catchy nature.
