American indie rock band Walk the Moon has released three studio albums, one compilation album, six extended plays, four singles, and four music videos. Walk the Moon was formed in 2008 in Cincinnati, Ohio, originally consisting of Nicholas Petricca, Adam Reifsnyder, Sam Cole and Ricky Human, the former two having attended Kenyon College together.[1] The group's first EP, entitled The Anthem, would be released later that same year in March. The band's lineup would begin to go through several different member changes throughout the next three years, leaving Petricca as the only member from the original group.

The band self released their first studio album I Want! I Want! in November 2010.[2] In 2011, a final lineup change was formed with bassist Kevin Ray, drummer Sean Waugaman, and guitarist Eli Maiman. Walk the Moon signed with RCA Records to release their first major-label album, self-titled Walk the Moon, many of which are re-recordings of the songs from I Want! I Want!. On its release in June 2012, the album entered the top forty on the Billboard 200, debuting at number 36.[3] The band's first single from that album, "Anna Sun", peaked at number ten on Billboard's Alternative Songs chart.[4] The second single, "Tightrope", had moderate success on the Alternative Songs chart, peaking at number fifteen.[5]

Walk the Moon's third studio album, Talking Is Hard, was released in November 2014. The album reached number 14 on the Billboard 200, making it Walk the Moon's first album to reach the top twenty.[3] Its lead single, "Shut Up and Dance", was a commercial success worldwide. It peaked at number four on the Billboard Hot 100,[6] and topped the Alternative Songs chart for four consecutive weeks. The album's opening track, "Different Colors", impacted alternative radio stations in May 2015 and was released as the next single from Talking Is Hard.[7]
