Artist description Walkout is a four-piece melodic power/pop-punk outfit from the suburbs of Chicago. They play catchy, sometimes mellow, punk rock that even if you don't know the words, you will be singing along, or at least humming. Or maybe just pretending to know the words and blurting out small nothings that sound like the song.

Press Reviews Generic Ska Punk made by a group of soon-to-be frat boys from the Suburbs of Chicago. The music doesn't really fit together, with drums pounding out beats as fast as possible, a noise guitar more distorted than it needs to be and lyrics that just don't quite fit the pacing of the music.-(Mark M., Listen.com)
