Joe Wall of The Walls joined Gavin Grace on The Today Show this afternoon to talk about the band’s new album and how they’re fundraising to cover their production costs through www.fundit.ie The Walls new album “Stop the lights” is almost finished and due to be released on the 9th of March. It includes last summers radio hit Bird in a Cage and the just-released single Stop the Lights.
