Redd Kross was just in town to play the Hozac Blackout Fest, and everyone we've heard from that was there said they were in excellent form. The band has been on a long hiatus, but that show saw the start of them revving up their engines ahead of unleashing their first new album in 15 years later this summer. This line-up teams bandleaders Jeff and Steven McDonald with their '80s-era compadres Robert Hecker and Roy McDonald (no relation to the other McDonalds) to create what they're calling the "classic" Redd Kross line-up. Judging by the sound of their first single, "Researching The Blues," this "classic" quartet is fully rejuvenated we welcome their reunion with each other. If this is a taste of what to expect from the rest of their new album, they may actually fall in the rarified category of "reunions that don't suck (see also: Dinosaur Jr)."
