The Walk

The Walk were a Canadian alternative rock band. Originally from Sudbury, Ontario, Canada, the band was formed in 1987 by vocalist/guitarist Dave Allan, guitarist/keyboardist Jason Frederick, bass guitarist Eric Forget and drummer James Prudhomme. They disbanded in 1996. History The band was originally known as "Painted Black" (which featured fifth member, guitarist James Cahill) before changing its name to The Walk in 1989. In 1990, with producer John Newlands, they released their debut album, Hollow, independently. The same year they also contributed a track to the compilation "From Under The Slag Heap", produced by campus radio station CFLR (now CKLU-FM). Sporadic touring followed, with the band opening for acts such as The Tragically Hip and Sarah McLachlan. In 1991, the band relocated to Hamilton, Ontario, where they released their second album (with guitarist Billy Bruhmuller replacing Cahill), Insomuch. The album received national radio airplay and charted on college radio across Canada.
