"A Walk" opened the account for The Gray Race, Bad Religion's 1996 album on Atlantic, and it turned out to be the only single from the record to land on a US chart. Greg Graffin wrote it alone and sings lead, and the band co-produced it with Ric Ocasek, which gives it a tight, bright sheen without dulling the bite.
Brian Baker and Greg Hetson lock their electric guitars together, Jay Bentley's bass and Bobby Schayer's drums push hard, and everyone but Hetson piles onto the backing vocals, turning Graffin's lines into a gang shout.
