redwalls Universal Blues (CD, £11.50)

Basing their sound on the groups of the mid-1960’s British Invasion, The Redwalls update a classic style in fine fashion. Reverb guitars, lush harmonies and Hammond Organ underscore The Redwalls' allegiance to 60’s Psychedelia and soaring melodies, while razor-like rocker tracks show that the band isn’t afraid to turn up the amps. ‘Universal Blues’ is the 2003 debut album by the Chicago young guns.
