Walk A Mile: Creek-Side Kill-Core


Remember when metalcore was good? No?! Well we do, and this band is a prime example of that nostalgic endeavor. Walk A Mile, a now defunct metalcore band from Trail Creek, Indiana, allowed us to host their kick-ass three-song demo from 2004. This band wasn't another run of the mill generic like the huge majority that made up their genre, these guys were good musicians and they knew good music. No whiny vocals parts, no emo guitar riffs, no bullshit like that. Walk A Mile played good melodic metal with tasteful breakdowns that were not easy to forget, not because they were cliché, but because the were NOT. At the formation, the band was inspired by an array of bands ranging from Propagandhi, down to Nehemiah and Coma Eternal. As the band grew, they definitely took on their own sound as they built the era of WAM. These guys did Indiana proud, especially on this last demo. Do not let the negative connotations that are normally associated with the word "demo" keep you from trying this one on, the recording quality is as awesome as the music is!
