After all, brothers Jeff and Steve McDonald were never a regular rock band. They were the group with the eleven-year-old bass player threading their way through the hardcore punk scene only to reappear, just a few years later, as masters of power pop hooks and bubblegum fun. They were Partridge Family fanatics who influenced the entire grunge crowd. They were long-haired punks with stage costumes that would have put even the boldest glam rockers to shame.

These sound like contradictions, but Redd Kross is the unfettered expression of two brothers and their rock’n’roll dream so exclusively informed by a visceral love of music and pop culture that it couldn’t help but defy genres and conventions, evolve without pause and survive both the music industry and a kidnapping.

A line-up of talking heads straight outta Lollapalooza tells stories you would swear were made up. But Jeff and Steve McDonald were already larger than life when they were in their teens, and the adventures that followed reflect just that. Through more than four decades Redd Kross have been nothing but happily, outrageously and courageously themselves. Director Andrew Reich (Emmy Award-winning writer on the hit TV Show Friends) conducted dozens of new interviews and had unfettered access to home movies and archival footage featuring THE RUNAWAYS, X, NIRVANA and GUNS N ROSES and members of the SOUNDGARDEN, PEARL JAM, THE MUFFS, MELVINS, GO-GOs and BLACK FLAG.

This is the definitive story of the most eclectic, unpredictable, thrilling and heartwarming band you never knew.
