Inside the performance

Sound, stage & company

Onstage company

Documented collaborators

Walking Bicycles is a bold, doom-pop/post-punk duo formed in Chicago around 2004 by vocalist Jocelyn Summers and guitarist Julius Moriarty. Their music blends sharp, concise post-punk with heavy, moody hooks, drawing praise from outlets like Noisey and Stereogum. Early releases appeared on Highwheel Records, with the self-titled debut arriving in 2005, followed by two releases in 2006, ¿GO? (2009), To Him That Wills The Way (2014), and Chooch (2019). Their sound nods to influences from Siouxsie Sioux to Clinic, making for a distinctive, brooding, and rhythmic presence on stage and in the studio.

Documented collaborators

While the band faced a notable hiatus tied to Julius Moriarty's three-year prison sentence for a marijuana possession charge, Walking Bicycles returned with Chooch, engineered at Electrical Audio with Sanford Parker. Chooch is framed as a heavier, defiant follow-up, centered on redemption and separation. They’ve performed at venues like The Empty Bottle in Chicago, continuing to build a dedicated following through DIY shows and thoughtful, unapologetic live performances. As of now, there is no publicly announced 2025 tour. Fans can stay connected for updates and new releases as the band navigates its continued evolution.
