JAYWALK – Walk It Hard! (2025), MP3+FLAC

Featured in exclusive at here, ”Walk it Hard!” is the just released debut album from melodic rock / glam metal band JAYWALK, a 4-piece ecompassing the great ’80s sound paved by bands such as Motley Crue, Poison and Warrant, with an updated sound akin the current Scandinavian style of Crazy Lixx, Nestor and Reckless love.

”Walk it Hard!” is an album with almost 2 decades in the making, since JAYWALK formed. The band recorded some of the songs in 2012/2013, but then they took a break and the project of releasing a full album froze.
Last year a friend of the band encouraged the guys to send a tape to reissue label Metallic Blue Records, and a deal crystallized to finally release ”Walk it Hard!”.

With fine musicianship and an obvious love for ’80s rock n’ roll songwriting this CD has something for everyone. From the commercial radio-friendly catchiness of “Knocked Out By Your Love” and up-tempo, attitude-driven rockers like “Fast Lane Ride” or “Make My Nite”, to more AOR / pop-metal tunes such as “Tell Me” or “This Time I Mean It”, JAYWALK rocks.
You have a US metal type of song on “Ever Again”, then a bluesy / country “Tuff Luck”, and of course a power ballad in “Where’s This Love”, to more slow and groovy hard rockers in “Sweet n’ Pretty” and “Booze Me Up”.
A very diverse record, everyone into the classic ’80s rock will definitely find something they like.
