Biography

Hailing from County Kerry, Ireland’s Walking On Cars came to fame with 2016’s album, Everything This Way, an international success that saw them spend three weeks at #1 in the Irish albums chart and touring all around the world.

Their second album Colours is a record kaleidoscopically rich with sounds, textures, emotions, synth-driven imagination and hard-won emotion, with the brilliant song writing synonymous with the bands previous releases.

The album features songs strident with piano, punchy electronics and sky-grabbing choruses; glorious mixes of synthesiser, guitars and feedback; songs that are as deeply personal as they are insanely catchy, and songs stripped back, both sonically and emotionally.

Having something to prove was a motor to Walking On Cars’ ambition from their earliest days as a band. Now they just have something to prove to several hundred thousand fans. Now they have Colours.

Artist Affinity estimates how strongly an artist's audience overlaps with interest in specific brands, products, and categories. It is derived from aggregated social and behavioral signals—who fans follow, save, click, and engage with—normalized across platforms. Higher affinity suggests better partnership fit and higher likelihood that fans will respond positively to branded content or offers. Use it to shortlist natural brand partners and product concepts that feel authentic to the audience. Combine affinity with Connection Strength (ER) and reach to balance fit with impact. Treat affinity as directional—validate with creative tests and small pilots before scaling.

ER = (likes + comments + shares) ÷ audience per post ≥ 3.0% = Very Strong 2.0–2.99% = Strong 1.0–1.99% = Moderate < 1.0% = Low
