It’s more than just music—it’s the soundtrack of your life. The songs you first heard through your older sister’s mixtape, blasting through the dorm room speakers on game weekends, or catching that unforgettable track on U-92 that changed everything. You passed it down, put it on mixtapes for your little brother, and played it for your kids in the car, long before they had a say. Those beats, those lyrics—they still resonate, and when you hear them again, it takes you back to where it all began.

Walrus is here to reignite that fire. No gimmicks. No wigs. No ironic distance. Just pure, honest renditions of the college radio rock that defined a generation. From the raw energy of The Clash, the moody introspection of The Cure, to the jangly brilliance of REM, and the infectious grooves of INXS—these are the bands that shaped the 80s and created memories you still carry today.

Featuring former members of Ocean to Goshen and Grandma’s Attic, Walrus isn’t just about nostalgia—they bring the same passion, grit, and authenticity to these songs that made you fall in love with them the first time. It's music the way you remember it, the way it was meant to be played: loud, alive, and without a hint of irony.

You might not have heard these songs live in years, but they’ve never left you. They're still in there, waiting to be let out. This February, Walrus takes the stage at Duling Hall and offers you the chance to feel it all over again. Whether you’re reliving the best years of your life or discovering the magic of 80s college rock for the first time, this is a night you won’t want to miss.
