RED DONS-FAKE MEET FAILURE

Ok people I've been gone for some time now but I now work at a record store and should have new records to review constantly. This hot little platter serves up some new fresh tunes from Red Dons who have been turning heads and stroking shafts with their catchy punk tunes with a slew of impressive releases. This record will please those fans of Red Dons but also throw them a few curve balls, like a beautiful intelligent woman who ends up being a transvestite; she's still hot, it's just different now.... Anyway! Red Dons play their rockin catchy tunes but throw in some new elements. At times it gets a little surfy and the song "Pariah" sounds like it could have been an Adolescents song, at least musically. The singer's voice continues to sound like a fine silk being slowly draped across a barely legal teenage girl's body, not relying on the "whoas" so much this time around. Bottom line if you dug their previous material this will titillate you with familiarity and keep you interested (like your cousin you accidentally hooked up before you realized who they were and you still think about them from time to time). If you haven't heard them, this is a great place to start.
