By the time Redd Kross released their 2024 self-titled album, they had been a band off and on for over 40 years, cranking out music that was equal parts punk attitude, glam rock glittery, heavy metal hard, and hooky like the Beatles. Guitarist/vocalist Jeff McDonald and bassist/vocalist Steven McDonald are rock & roll lifers to be sure, but not in any kind of way that suggests they are worn out or going through the motions. This album is as full of pulsating life, whip-crack energy, and intense devotion to craft as anything they've ever done, and it just might be the best record they've ever made. Whipped up during the emotional-rollercoaster days of the COVID-19 pandemic and its aftermath of confusion and anger, the album is full of personal and political reckoning, with the brothers lashing out at the fakers and charlatans, turning their penetrating gaze inward, thinking about the past, and unleashing some of the most hardcore rock and shiny pop of their long career. With the help of longtime guitarist Jason Shapiro and producer/drummer/Jack-of-many-trades Josh Klinghoffer, the brothers aim for an unvarnished sound that's paint-peelingly live on rockers like "Candy Coated Catastrophe" or "Terrible Band," chiming and sweet on the poppier numbers ("I'll Take Your Word for It," "The Shaman's Disappearing Robe") and tough and tender at the same time on big ballads like "The Main Attraction" and "Born Innocent" that show off a more sensitive side than many might expect.
