This has been the Year of Redd Kross—a celebration that’s been long-overdue. Nearly half a century after forming one of the most important bands to ever hail from Los Angeles (and “one of the most underrated band of their generation,” according to Variety), in 2024 the power-pop/bubbleglam/hardcore band released their most ambitious album yet, the 18-song, two-disc “Redd Kross”, plus a delightful memoir, “Now You’re One of Us“. And now the year wraps with the release of their documentary “Born Innocent: The Redd Kross Story“, directed by former Friends writer/showrunner/executive producer Andrew Reich. The movie opens at the TCL Chinese Theatres in Hollywood this Thursday, with additional screenings around the country scheduled through next year.
Hawthorne-born, Hollywood-raised Jeff and Steven McDonald, who started the band when they were, respectively, ages 15 and 11—bring us deeper into their world.
