The Redwalls went from unknown to over-hyped to neither unknown nor over-hyped with bewildering speed. Most people hadn’t heard of the Illinois band until the release of De Nova, its debut for Capitol Records. The Beatles-worshipping quartet’s Britpop was certainly pleasant enough, but the praise heaped on De Nova quickly grew overheated. The band toured relentlessly in 2005, but aside from a stint opening for Oasis, The Redwalls stayed close to home and kept a low profile last year, working on the recently released The Wall To Wall Sessions EP. Fans of Clap Your Hands Say Yeah should check out Chicago singer-songwriter Ezra Furman: His reedy voice and slightly warped lyrical twists have much in common with that band’s Alec Ounsworth (and in turn, Gordon Gano of the Violent Femmes). Minty Fresh will release Furman’s Banging Down The Doors this month, with Modest Mouse producer Brian Deck behind the boards. Also playing: Mark Mallman. www.theonion.com

This year, the rain came and didn’t go, leaving Austin with the coolest, greenest summer in recent memory. Yet even if it were 110 degrees 30 days in a row, every day would look good to Stephen Bruton, who was diagnosed with throat cancer some six months ago.
“It’s the club you never want to be in,” says the local guitarist. His light tone doesn’t disguise the solemnity of his diagnosis or the scratchiness of his voice. He underwent chemotherapy and radiation treatment over a seven-week period with double treatments the last two weeks.
“I’m not saying I’m a superhero, but it was baptism by fire, and I came through it. I know what the flip side is like, when the doctor says, ‘You’re not well.’ read more..
