Redd Kross || Listen
Redd Kross rank among the Iron Chefs of Rock ‘N Roll; able to take any secret ingredient, master it, and make it their own. Their reputation for originality, rich flavor and stunning presentation has been praised by such peers as Sonic Youth, Nirvana, Stephen Malkmus (Pavement), Stone Temple Pilots, The Mayor of Sunset Strip – Rodney Bingenheimer, and yes even Joe Elliot of Def Leppard. Ever evolving and changing, their music has been described as punk rock, power pop, experimental, glam, performance art, British Invasion, bubblegum, grunge, and heavy metal; and while it’s been part of all of these, it’s also most importantly, been something all of it’s own. Hailing from Hawthorne CA, home of the Beach Boys, Redd Kross began playing shows and releasing records before attending high school. Founding Brothers Jeff and Steven McDonald have always understood and openly embraced the obscure common threads of their influences and inspirations. Where most people see differences, the McDonald Brothers find quirky commonalities and artistic piety in both high-brow and low-brow pop culture.
