The meaning of the Face To Face song "Walk The Walk" is that it's a commentary on the disparity between words and actions, with the speaker calling out individuals who speak negatively about others but fail to back up their claims with actions.

MY THOUGHTS ON FACE TO FACE:
Face To Face got their start back in 1991, hailing from Victorville, California. They dropped their debut album in 1992, titled "Don't Turn Away". In 1995, the band dropped "Big Choice". On this album, they re-recorded the song "Disconnected" which started receiving radio play in Los Angeles creating buzz around the band. With the punk rock revival in full motion in the mid-90's, Face To Face was signed to major label A&M for a one off album, "Face To Face". 1999 saw the band change their style a bit with the release of "Ignorance Is Bliss". 2000 saw the band revert back to it's punk rock roots with the release of "Reactionary". After releasing 2002's "How To Ruin Everything" and touring to support the album, the band decided to call it quits in 2004. Luckily for fans of the band, this hiatus only lasted until 2008 when they reunited to play a show at the Glass House in Pomona, California. They haven't looked back since! 2011 saw the band release "Laugh Now, Laugh Later, a great album indeed! Two years later in 2013, Face To Face dropped "Three Chords And A Half Truth". In 2016, Face To Face signed on with legendary punk label Fat Wreck Chords. That year they dropped "Protection". In 2018, the band released an acoustic album which featured stripped down versions of some of their classic songs. This album was called "Hold Fast: Acoustic Sessions". The band's most recent release was 2021's "No Way Out But Through". Face To Face is just a classic Southern California punk band. They have great melodies, great hooks, really just a great songwriting band. Highly influential too! I got into Face To Face kinda late for some reason. I have no idea why it took me so long cuz they are an awesome band. I heard their song "Disappointed" in 2000 and I was totally baffled as to why this band wasn't heavily in my music collection! I f'd up! I'm sorry! I quickly worked my way to their back catalogue and have just been loving all of their albums since. 2011's "Laugh Now, Laugh Later" is just a killer album. Maybe my favorite by Face To Face. A great album for them to announce that they were indeed back!
