Redd Kross are back to deliver their one and only signature brand of genuine rock 'n' roll. On August 7, Merge Records will release Researching the Blues, the first new album from Redd Kross in 15 years.
According to Steve McDonald, Redd Kross bass player, producer and mixer of the album, “It has the most singular artistic vision of any record we’ve done. It’s just 10 really fucking awesome songs that have the ability to move you in many different ways." Woohoo!
Researching The Blues clocks in at just 32 minutes with all songs written by Jeff McDonald and played by the classic "Neurotica" album lineup, which is; Steve McDonald (bass) Jeff McDonald (lead vox and guitar) Roy McDonald ( Drums and no relation to Jeff & Steve, but also in The Muffs) and Robert Hecker (guitar).
The album is available for pre-order on CD and Vinyl right now and comes with a poster and badge (if you pre-order here: http://mergerecords.com/store/store_detail.php?catalog_id=865 )
Everything the McDonald brother's touch turns to gold and "Researching The Blues" will be no exception. Redd Kross have been playing to enthusiastic audiences at sold-out select shows and festivals such as the Azkena Festival; Coachella; The HooDoo Gurus' Invitational, "Dig It Up" (where they were the highlight of the day); All Tomorrow's Parties; and Pop Montréal.
