• Comment: Need more citations from reliable sources, not social media for verifiability and to meet GNG. The Herald (Benison) (talk) 09:56, 16 February 2024 (UTC)

• Comment: Interviews don't establish notability, and I'd ask the citations to streaming services and genius be replaced by cites to the band's own announcements or those in reliable sources. Mach61 (talk) 06:17, 31 December 2023 (UTC)

Moon Walker is the rock music project of New York based musician Harrison 'Harry' Springer. Springer composes, produces, and records all of Moon Walker's music in his bedroom.^[1] While onstage, Moon Walker performs with the help of an additional bassist and drummer.^[2] Moon Walker formed in 2021, spun-off from the band The Midnight Club. ^[3]

Moon Walker was originally inspired by other bands such as T. Rex, Supergrass, and The White Stripes. While Moon Walker shares similarities with many bands and genres like punk, psychedelic, 1960s, and 1970s rock, Springer self-identifies the band simply as rock.^[4][5]

Many of Moon Walker's songs reflect Springer's own political views and often gets his message across using sarcastic language. His sarcasm originally created confusion for some in regards to his and the band's political orientation. Because of this, Moon Walker was thought to be a conservative band and was even referred to as a conservative version of the aforementioned band The White Stripes.^[6] This troubled Springer but as Moon Walker grew he was relieved to be found by the bands target audience.^[2] Despite this, Springer says the most anxious he's been about a review was when Justin Hawkins of The Darkness reviewed Moon Walker.^[7][8]
