The Redwalls are four shaggy-haired boys from the Chicago suburbs whose version of mid-Sixties Brit rock is so spot-on it's tiresome. Their second album mixes junkyard riffs, busy horn arrangements and cracked-throat garage wailing from singer Logan Baren. Barnburners like "Rock and Roll" show true bar-rocking abandon, but anyone who's had his fill of retro might need a six-pack to get much out of them. Organ-tinged comedowns such as "Build a Bridge" feel like token changes of pace. The Redwalls sound like a precocious live band with their shit together, but if they want to hit it big in the trash-rock game they'll need to channel their energy into songs as well-tailored as their mod suits.
