The last time the world had heard from Walking Papers
was four years ago after the release of their self titled debut album.
With an extensive background in rock and roll from each of the Seattle
natives, Jefferson Angell (The Missionary Position), Benjamin Anderson
(both of The Missionary Position) Duff McKagan (Guns N’ Roses, Velvet
Revolver), and Barrett Martin (Screaming Trees, Mad Season) were able to
come together to put out an album that would receive critical acclaim
from Rolling Stones, Consequence of Sound, VH1 and USA Today who
described how surprisingly good Walking Papers was stating “Sometimes an
album sounds nothing like you expect yet still blows you away… It’s
powerful yet nuanced, a kind of rock confident enough in itself that it
rarely needs force to make its point.”
While time has past since the release of Walking Papers, it seems as
if Angell, McKagan, Anderson and Martin are ready for round two. Just
recently Walking Papers announced that the arrival date of their
sophomore album WP2 will be next year January 19, 2018 and will
be released through Loud & Proud Records. Angell expressed the band
excitement to have WP2 put out to the public stating “Walking
Papers is happier than a tornado in a trailer park to have our second
record see the light of day via Loud & Proud Records,” says Angell.
It’s been a white-knuckled nail-biter since its conception, and we are
pleased to have Tom and Madelyn behind the wheel as we make our way to
the delivery room!” Angell also talked about his point of view about the
album and saying “This record has exceeded my expectations of what I
thought that might be, it perfectly captures the raw, explosive energy
of a band primed from extensive touring while at the same time achieving
the polish and elevation that comes from experimenting in the studio.”
Walking Papers WP2 Track Listing:
1. My Luck Pushed Back
2. Death On The Lips
