Blessed with a formidable front woman in Brett Anderson, a guitar heroine in Allison Robertson, and a pummeling rhythm section in bassist Maya Ford and drummer Torry Castellano, The Donnas were one of the greatest punk bands of the ‘90s, male or female, bringing a uniquely hedonistic yet feminist viewpoint to the genre. Now, with the full cooperation of the band, Real Gone Music is reissuing their first four albums on vinyl, a quartet of pop-punk gems that were originally released on the Lookout! label. And we’re doing ‘em right, with band commentary and some sonic TLC. The first two records blasted through their first pressings…you’re gonna wanna move it for these two later Lookout! classics!

Yup, they’re legal now, and God help you if you try to keep up with them if they show up at your neighborhood local. Which they just might…cuz this 2001 album chronicles the highs and lows of being on tour and on the prowl with songs like “40 Boys in 40 Nights.” It also captures the full emergence of Allison Robertson as a guitar goddess, joining Angus Young as an officiant at the marriage of Gibson and Marshall. It’s no wonder, then, that this album led to The Donnas’ signing with Atlantic…these women-no-longer-girls are ready for the major leagues. Includes an LP-sized insert (instead of the original’s CD booklet) featuring added band commentary. Remastered for vinyl by Mike Milchner at Sonic Vision…and pressed in Blue “Ice Queen” vinyl!
