Giant Walker are a heavy progressive rock band from Newcastle / Guildford, UK
‘Katoomba’ begins with a heavy guitar riff before unleashing hard beats and the energetic vocals leave us further captivated.
Guitarist Jamie explains, ” ‘Katoomba’ was actually the first song that we wrote for the album and, whilst we try and bring a different vibe to all of our songs, we feel that ’Katoomba’ really summarises the sound of ‘Giant Walker’.
Lyrically, it captures the essence of how we felt at the time – trying to stay sane in the first lockdown.
Funnily enough, the song was actually named after a trip to the Blue Mountains, Katoomba in Australia, as that’s where I purchased the fuzz pedal which inspired the initial riff.”
