The Donnas Artist Snapshot:

How can you not love a quartet of hard-rocking teenage girls who all go by the same first name? Despite the Josie & the Pussycats-on-speed image conjured by this, the Donnas turned out to be one of hard rock's brightest hopes right before the Strokes came on the scene. Emerging in the late '90s, they combined a Ramones/Runaways '70s punk sensibility with a bit of pop metal a la Kiss or Motley Crue, and eventually made the leap to the majors that separates rock stars from cult items.

Review

Spin (3/98, p.131) - 8 (out of 10) - "...On AMERICAN TEENAGE ROCK'N'ROLL MACHINE, the Donnas' Lookout! debut, they squeeze ten pep-rally pom-pom stomps into 24 shiny minutes of party-metal hair spray. They pit ballroom blitzes against blitzkrieg bops and teen-era Redd Kross against `Tush'-era Girlschool..."
CMJ (1/11/99, p.5) - "...The Donnas have rewritten the rules for three-chord rock 'n' roll -- now it's the boys' turn to catch up..."

Title Note

The Donnas: Donna R. (vocals, guitar); Donna F. (vocals, bass, vibraslap); Donna C. (vocals, drums); Donna A. (vocals).

Producers: Tom, The Donnas, Romeo Voltage.

Recorded at Trainwreck Studios, Oakland, California.

All tracks have been digitally mastered using HDCD technology.

They come off like the bastard offspring of Joan Jett & Johnny Ramone, with enough endearing naivete, untarnished rock & roll hedonism and six-string power to push one-time labelmates Green Day out of the way as the premier punk-pop band of the '90s. The Ramones connection extends beyond surface details like their gang/family nomenclature (the members are known as Donnas R., C., F. and A.) to the unapologetic ramalama of the guitar and drums and pinhead-with-a-purpose lyrics.

The Donnas' obvious Runaways roots (teenage girls on a rock rampage) extend to Joan Jett's later career and her glam tendencies. The Donnas are only too happy to rewrite the Jett-covered Gary Glitter classic "Do You Want To Touch Me" to suit their own purposes. In fact, the major musical progression from their eponymous debut to AMERICAN TEENAGE ROCK 'N" ROLL MACHINE (one of the more aptly-titled albums extant) is from straight California punk to glammed-up rock that could make Paul Stanley smile.
