Redwalls announce new album, tour dates

Former British Invasion cover band (turned-British Invasion throwback band) the Redwalls will release their self-titled MAD Dragon Records LP on Oct. 23. Steering clear of the layered effect on previous releases, The Redwalls was recorded live to tape and produced by Tore Johansson (Franz Ferdinand, OK Go). The Chicago-based group mentions one song that “mixes dance beats with a powerful attack of guitars” and another containing “old school ass shaking 60s stomp.” So it seems they’re still throwing it back, but with varying degrees of launch, if that makes sense.
