Redwoods – ‘Nothin’ But Trouble.’
"Redwoods could well be the most American thing to come out of Canada for a while. With a huge sound that feels a little like all those bands your thinking of, the band have managed to carve out a sound that doesn’t just copy but enhances. Musically the band are no novices with mature solos, well worked drums and a great bassline, but it’s Devon Webber’s vocals that really make you sit up and take notice. They just linger half a second longer than you’d expect and that catches the ear in a way you won’t feel coming. If you only listen to one of he bands from this page, make it this one." - Mind Noise Network
"With the summer in full swing we are looking for tracks to soundtrack the coming months, and Redwoods' latest track is an out and out anthem laden with dominating vocals and charming licks of guitars. The Canadian band really do remind me of bands I use to adore when I was in my early teens, such as ASH, Lenny Kravitz and Bon Jovi, yes I said it. But Redwoods bring a fresh approach to it all with the track definetly sounding like it's from 2018 rather 2008."
"The track, "Tidal Wave" is off Redwoods latest release "Study Night." This short but sweet EP captures the moods of partying and doing what you love, so be sure to check out the song below!" - It's All Indie

Bio
From the hills of Vancouver, BC comes a sound that couldn't be matched by the greatest West Coast storm. Meet rock band, Redwoods. Their appeal is simple: fast and scrappy rock tunes that are exuberant, energizing and fun.
Redwoods' anti-trend, high velocity sound doesn't come at the expense of song-writing either. These guys are excellent song-crafters, producing tunes that are cocky and sharp, with plenty of hooks and riffs and earworm catchiness. Moreover, all four band members - front man Devon Webber, vocals and guitar; Aydn Graham, guitar; Chad Carlsen, bass; and Adam Likness, drums - are excellent musicians, blending buzzing, careening guitar and big drums with Webber's soulful, lucid voice. Redwoods first started playing together in high school, practicing in a cramped garage in a North Vancouver neighborhood. Since those early days, the band has been busy playing shows in Vancouver, northern B.C and Indie Week in Toronto. In 2017, they released their debut EP "Sessions in Stone," followed a year later by "Study Night," with production from Tommy Macdonald. That EP features "Tidal Wave," which It's All Indie described as "...an out and out anthem laden with dominating vocals and charming licks of guitars." Redwoods plans to release its first full-length album in the summer of 2019 with the help of Canadian producer Garth Richardson.
In a market saturated with the slick, synthesized and over-produced, Redwoods is carving out a spirited, spunky space of its own.
