Barely teenagers at the time, Redd Kross was one of the first bands in So Cal to pick up guitars and lash out at their laid-back homeland with a new thing called "punk." In no time at all, they were studding their songs with arcane references to The Partridge Family and other '70s kitsch, along the way developing a keen power-pop sensibility. The evolution culminated with 1991's THIRD EYE, on which they came on like a sort of junior Cheap Trick, and 1993's PHASESHIFTER, on which they flawlessly balanced melody and alterna-punk, not once burning themselves on the irony. The non-LP Switchblade Sister temporarily forsakes Americana, instead paying tribute to T. Rex, Slade, and the other glam stars that made '70s England all the rage. | Appears On | |
