Walking On Cars revved up and ready to go for second album

Dingle heroes Walking on Cars tell Ed Power how they got past second-album syndrome, and why the band are turning their Cork gig into a sort of homecoming.

A few years ago the exclusive club of Irish bands capable of selling out Dublin’s 3Arena welcomed a new member in the form of Dingle’s Walking On Cars. With tunes that blended folk and pop they were hailed — a bit lazily — as the homegrown Mumford and Sons. They certainly knew their way around an anthemic pop song, and were soon taking their seat at the top table of Irish rock.
