Biography
Redd Kross, an American alternative rock group formed in Hawthorne, California, emerged from a 1978 punk band called The Tourists, founded by brothers Jeff McDonald and Steven McDonald. The bandâs early lineup included Greg Hetson on guitar and John Stielow on drums, and their first performance opened for Black Flag. After changing their name to Red Cross in 1979 and later to Redd Kross in 1982 to avoid legal issues, the group released their debut selfâtitled EP Redd Kross on Posh Boy in 1980, followed by the fullâlength Born Innocent in 1982 and the EP Teen Babes from Monsanto in 1984. In 1987, Redd Kross issued Neurotica, and in 1990 they signed with Atlantic Records to release Third Eye, which included the collegeâradio single "Annie's Gone". The 1993 album Phaseshifter spawned MTVâplayed videos for "Jimmy's Fantasy" and "Lady In the Front Row", and the 1997 release Show World was produced by Chris Shaw. After touring with The Presidents of the United States of America and a brief hiatus following guitarist Eddie Kurdzielâs death in 1999, the band resurfaced with Researching The Blues in 2012 and the 2024 selfâtitled double album Redd Kross, featuring singles "Candy Coloured Catastrophe" and "Too Good to Be True". Their 2024 memoir Now Youâre One of Us: The Incredible Story of Redd Kross chronicles the brothersâ career and cultural impact.
