Redd Kross

Redd Kross is an American rock band from Hawthorne, California, who had their roots in 1978 in a punk rock band called the Tourists, which was started by brothers Jeff and Steve McDonald while Steve was still in middle school. With the addition of friends Greg Hetson and John Stielow on drums, the band's first gig was opening for Black Flag. The band has since released seven albums and three EPs.

“But with this record, it’s very strange... because we started recording it on half-inch eight-track, and then it kind of mutated into going in the studio with the Neve board, then going into our own basements with our Pro Tools – we just did every imaginable technique.”
