Walking Out On Love Is A Tribute To All Hard Working Rock Bands
raindancermystico12 April 2008
Written by Hans Lucas, "Walking Out On Love" tells the story of a struggling fictional rock band from Los Angeles, California. This local underground rock band is approached by a popular rock group and invited to tour as their opening act. Above all else, this film is a tribute to all hard-working rock bands and a realistic love story set to take place in the present (2007). If you are in a rock band, chances are you can relate to this film in some way or another.

The title "Walking Out On Love" was taken from the song "Walking Out On Love" by rock band The Paul Collins Beat. Much like this film, The Paul Collins Beat has a cult following around the world, with more than 14 albums to their name. Although they relocated to New York City, The Paul Collins Beat formed in 1977 in Los Angeles, California. The Paul Collins Beat toured with famous acts such as The Cure, Devo and The Jam and continues to tour nowadays as a functional rock band.

Before The Beat, Paul Collins was a founder member of rock group The Nerves with Jack Lee and Peter Case from 1974-1977. The Nerves toured with The Ramones, funding their own tours self-releasing the vinyl containing the song Hanging On The Telephone, a hit single later covered by Blondie on the "Parallel Lines" album.
