The Jig Is Up for The Redwalls

Poor widdle Redwalls.

2007_02_redwalls.jpgTime Out has reported that The Redwalls have been dropped from their major-label deal and are now homeless urchins dusting about in the musical wasteland. It's funny, because we were just talking to a friend of the band about their forthcoming new album. We were arguing that the band has never moved beyond its roots as a Beatles cover band, but our friend insisted the new disc was great and could very well move us to accept the band as something new.

So I guess we're just going to have to wait for Undertow to take pity on the poor boys and pick 'em back up, huh? Our question is, who will pay for the hair products and tight trousers until then?

Our follow up? How long do we have to wait until we enjoy the sight of Kill Hannah cozying up alongside The Redwalls in the back alleys of unsigned mediocre recording artists? Let the death watch begin!
