Black Wave Rising | LP/CD
On their third album I Walk The Line from Helsinki deliver 11 anthems of powerful hooks wrapped in a flood of guitars and keyboards. Including the snottiest punk songs the band has written to date, as well as synth-driven new wave style tracks and all aspects in between.

Desolation Street | coloured LP
12 songs, in general accompanied by an organ, remind us sometimes of Social Distortion and The Clash, but still, I Walk The Line have their very unique sound. Perfect soul-punk mixed with the melancholy of the Tundra and the typical Nordic keen sense of great melodies.

Language Of The Lost | LP/CD
This band has been around, taken the traditional approach to mastering what they do by serving their apprenticeship on the road playing honest, heartfelt music, divorced from time and trend, to anyone willing to take the time to hear it. Language of the Lost distills all of it into ten serious songs. I Walk The Line's pedigree is in punk, but this is something else. Storytelling and dark atmospheres, but the music has some serious uplift. Free of empty bombast, driven by massive drums that leave plenty of room for tastefully spare keyboards and a seriously intelligent string section. By string section we, naturally, mean "two guitars and a bass". Nothing new there, but it's real and works.
