Redd Kross - Redd Kross '1980/2024

Tracks list

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
didn’t stop their group from becoming one of the most remarkable,
enduring and unique outfits punk-rock ever belched up. 2024, then, marks Redd
Kross’s forty-fifth birthday― an important anniversary for any
group whose heart pulses at 45RPM―and the brothers are celebrating the
event with a veritable multimedia extravaganza. There’s a memoir, Now
You’re One Of Us, due in November, author Dan Epstein telling the
group’s 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
album―an eponymous double-album, no less, packed with eighteen of their
sharpest, most addictive songs yet. These years of joyful service to
rock’n’roll 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 popcultural references their loyal
following will gobble up like quaaludes.
