Description
In 1979, two school-kids all hopped-up on punk-rock started their own group in their hometown of Hawthorne, Los Angeles (birthplace of the Beach Boys) and soon found themselves opening shows for notorious scene pioneers Black Flag. Jeff McDonald was fifteen, his brother Steven McDonald only eleven. But that didnt stop their group from becoming one of the most remarkable, enduring and unique outfits punk-rock ever belched up.
2024, then, marks Redd Krosss forty-fifth birthday an important anniversary for any group whose heart pulses at 45RPMand the brothers are celebrating the event with a veritable multimedia extravaganza. Theres a memoir, Now Youre One Of Us, due in November, author Dan Epstein telling the groups story in the McDonalds unmistakable (and occasionally contrary) voices. A brilliant rockumentary, Born Innocent, directed by Andrew Reich, will premiere later in the year. Most exciting of all, this new albuman eponymous double-album, no less, packed with eighteen of their sharpest, most addictive songs yet. These years of joyful service to rocknroll have seen Redd Kross evolve into a killer pop-rock concern, dealing in dayglo power-chords, choruses as tall as skyscrapers and a lyric sheet thick with acid couplets and arch pop cultural references their loyal following will gobble up like quaaludes.
