De Nova, Universal Blues- The Redwalls

You know when you play that game where you are organising a fantasy gig, and you can invite any bands from the history of all time to play and record one new album- who do you choose? Hendrix? The Who? The Doors? The Beatles?

You have to miss The Beatles sometimes, they created some unique sounds that everybody can appreciate even today. But everything The Beatles did individually (I.e. Wings, John & Yoko, George Harrison and even solo Ringo) after they split up was crap, for want of a better word. There just wasn't that vibe.

Here's one band that seemed to pick up exactly where The Beatles left off. They sound so bloody similar its almost like The Beatles have got back together to record some honest and very decent Rock and Roll tracks. They hail all the way from Chicago, Illinois and go by the name "The Redwalls".

One track that I've singled out is called "It's Alright", a bit of naive rock and roll never killed any one right? It was released on their debut album in 2003 called Universal Blues, and again on their 2005 album De Nova. Their latest "Wall to Wall Sessions" is just out, and all well worth a listen.
