Born Innocent: The Redd Kross Story
Documentary / USA / 84 min / 2023 / Nordic premiere
Born Innocent makes the case for Redd Kross as the seminal US West Coast band of the last half century. Passionate praise for the band started by ‘freak brothers’ Jeff and Steve McDonald – one of the most unique and influential American rock bands of the past four decades. A colourful and chirpy clusterf*ck of garage punk, glam, power pop, metal, candour, bullheadedness and wild adventures. A genre unto itself, and unto which, members of Sonic Youth, L7, Black Flag, Melvins and Sebadoh profess undying love.
