EP

Something we did not have (2008, BEEP002 - CD)

The first official EP by The Walt turned out to be a collection of old and new material, recorded at the infamous Mailmen Studios. As stated in the press-release, the EP provided The Walt with enough experience and confidence to start working on their debut full-length album, scheduled for 2009.

Overall, the EP has been very well received by press and public. In December 2008 the EP won the 'Locals Only' competition hosted by LiveXS Magazine, resulting in three performances by the band in the acclaimed venues Paradiso (Amsterdam), Het Paard (Den Hague) and LuxorLive (Arnhem).
