The Redwalls brand of retro cool is real.

Artist:
Considering the subject matter of my last blog perhaps it's no surprise that I discovered The Redwalls and really like them. Their 60's 70's influenced retro cool rockin sound is so Beatlesque it's bordering on plagiarism on some songs… And the chorus of their song 'Modern Diet' even cheekily proclaims "They say it's all been done before" while proving that although it may have all been done bef

Wow… it has been a long time since I mogged… well there are reasons; Firstly I spend far too much time online promoting my music projects (mainly AREA 27)… so by the time I've done the rounds on MySpace, Last FM, Facebook etc.etc. I'm exhausted and it's hard to even find the time to be creative.Another reason was I realized that while going through my old vinyl & CD collection (whats left of it t

Obscure or Forgotten Gems # 3
Before their 1980’s chart success’ like ‘Jeopardy’ & ‘The Break Up Song’ the Greg Kihn Band made three excellent melodic Power Pop records that stand the test of time better than their more heavily produced 80’s records.(the 80's stuff is great too)My favourite of these is the 1979 release “In The Naked Eyeâ€, everything from the 1960’s style cover art to the gorgeous melodies a
