| The Donnas |
Punk
Still having to deal with the ordeals of final exams, dumb jocks and other typical high school melodramas was when the Donnas first got together. While everybody else in their grade was more concerned about whom they should take to the prom, vocalist Donna A., guitarist Donna R. bassist Donna F. and drummer Donna C. were all about rock 'n roll and flipping the bird to everyone they couldn't stand in their class. After releasing a handful of singles and a self-titled LP on the small Superteem label, Lookout! Records released American Teenage Rock 'n' Roll Machine in 1998. Upon graduating from high school, the Donnas released the Speedin' Back to My Baby EP along with the re-issue of their first full-length, followed by a tour of the United States and Japan, all while under the label support of Lookout! Records. After a split EP with New York's the Toilet Boys, the group released the full-length Get Skintight in 1999. The Donnas Turn 21 followed in 2001. The next year, the lovely ladies inked a deal with Atlantic and hit the road with Jimmy Eat World and Superdrag. The were all grown up, too; Spend the Night, which appeared in October 2002, marked the Donnas' sassy rock maturation. Mike DaRonco
