Van Walker, the Tasmanian musician who's prolific songwriting productivity has seen him become a 'cult figure locally' in his adopted Melbourne, is back with a swag of new songs. Having written over 500 across many genres, releasing 6 full length albums between 2008 & 2010, a selection of which the Fuse Music Group released in 2012 on the Underneath the Radar compilation, which met with national critical acclaim, prompting Beat Magazine to quip: “If Bob Dylan was born 20 years later and grew up fraternising in Collingwood bars, he would sound like this,” and Mess & Noise to state, "Literary vigour and scathing social commentary, if there is any justice in this world, Underneath the Radar will provoke a radical awareness & appreciation of Van Walker’s songwriting talents."
Since then Van has been busy touring Europe, writing and releasing two albums with the powerpop outfit The Livingstone Daisies (2013, PBS Album of the Year) (2014. 4.5 Stars AGE EG) with Liz Stringer, his brother Callan, and Michael Barclay (Paul Kelly & Coloured Girls), recording a new rock 'n roll record with Jeff Lang, Ezra Lee & Ash Davies as Van Walker’s Heartbreakers (Off the Hip/Rubber); forming the three piece blues outfit Goatpiss Gasoline; while also writing and performing as a member of the critically acclaimed Vandemonian Lags stage production.

Now sees him return with new songs and a new group comprising of Cal Walker (Tyrannamen), and Mitch Dillon (Henry Hugo/Jess Parker).
