How young we were—can you remember when they were just four girls in t-shirts putting out 45s in cheesy sleeves? Now the Donnas just celebrated their 17th anniversary as in a band, and they weren’t even 17 back when they started on Super Teem, singing, ‘I don’t wanna growwwwww up / I just want my Taco Bell.” (Original 7” lyric.) And now they’re this Kiss-Crue-Kim Fowley-on-Casablanca hard-rawk legacy machine—in fact, they did a split with Kiss back when indie rock was flush with pre-MP3 money, and they must have caught something nasty because they dumped the Ramones-isms and went heavier ever since. The cover they did was “Strutter” and that’s what they do, and they’ll strut across the grave of chillwave one day soon.
