Walk Off the Earth came out of Burlington, Ontario, in 2006 and made their name the internet way: YouTube videos of pop covers and originals, played on ukulele and theremin and stacked up with looped samples until one song sounded like a whole party. Gianni "Luminati" Nicassio, the band's multi-instrumentalist, produces both the records and the videos, with Sarah Blackwood and Joel Cassady alongside him in the current lineup.
Columbia put out the R.E.V.O. EP in 2012, home of "Red Hands", and the full-length Sing It All Away followed in 2015 with "Rule The World". The mix of reggae rock, ska and indie pop is sunny, busy and a little homemade on purpose, the sound of a band that built its audience one video at a time. Drummer Pete Kirkwood was there for the first few years, and keyboardist Mike Taylor was a member from 2010 to 2018.
