The Badlees continue their effort to fight the record company establishment with their latest collection of poignant, earnest, heart- felt American rock and roll. The self-released "Renew" has a slightly harder edge than some of the bands earlier, more acoustic-based material, but the band hasn't lost it's way. The focus remains on the voice lead singer Pete Palladino gives to guitarist Bret Alexander's tales of love and longing. The CD's title is in reference to the bands spiritual rebirth. After a hiatus that saw each of the groups members involved in side projects, the band reunited to decide their future and thankfully chose to continue their partnership. The tight harmonies and skillful musicianship on display here confirm the band still has plenty of great music to share with their fans.
