1CD - ImportIn 1979, two school-kids all hopped-up on punk-rock started their own group in their hometown of Hawthorne, Los Angeles 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' forty-fifth birthday - an important anniversary for any group whose heart pulses at 45RPM! Their new eponymous double-album is 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 pop-cultural references their loyal following will gobble up like quaaludes.
