Press reviews
âlong before the current âgypsy punkâ fadâ¦pretty damned convincing acoustic mini-world music-fest on disc. Their ramshackle sound, skiffle-meets-punk-and-shakes-hands-with-world music-while-air-kissing-ska- delivers a set of celebratory, high-spirited workouts impossible to resistâ (RockânâReel)

âParty musicians, ideal for your local rave up. This bunch are a whole world party on their own.â (Folk Roots)

âWalking Wounded are a band with roots, rhythm, rock and conscience⦠Delivered in a style similar to the Levellers, i.e. full blast, the Walking Wounded are singing honest, loud and liveâ¦â (Detour)

âThis band are fiercely proud of their eclecticism which sees them glide through acoustic punk, Jazz and Pop.â(Mojo)
