The Redwalls - Topic

The Redwalls formed in 2001 in Deerfield, Illinois, when brothers Logan and Justin Baren joined guitarist Andrew Langer and drummer Jordan Kozer. After starting as a rock ’n’ roll–style cover band, they shifted to original material and signed with Capitol Records in 2003, releasing Universal Blues that year. Their follow-up, De Nova (2005), brought tours with Oasis, appearances on The Tonight Show and other national late-night stages, and back-to-back sets at Lollapalooza. In 2006, they went to Sweden to record their self-titled third album with producer Tore Johansson (Franz Ferdinand, OK Go) and also tracked the Wall to Wall Sessions EP later that year, releasing both independently after Capitol dissolved in its 2007 merger. Following more touring and several lineup changes, the band went on hiatus. In recent years, members have been working on both previously shelved recordings and new music.
