Now You're One of Us : The Incredible Story of Redd Kross

Now You're One of Us is the definitive statement about Redd Kross, an in-depth and riveting tale told in the voices of the talented and tempestuous brothers at the core of this iconic outfit. Emerging from humble beginnings in suburban Los Angeles, the McDonalds took their rock 'n' roll fantasy and ran with it -- and wound up becoming one of the most influential American bands of their time. The band's flamboyant, genre-defying, joyously tuneful blend of musical, sartorial and pop cultural elements profoundly influenced the punk rock, glam metal and grunge movements and won them a worldwide cult of fervent admirers that includes bands like Pearl Jam, Foo Fighters, Sonic Youth, L7 and The Bangles. Redd Kross continue rocking to this day, much to the intense delight of fans old and new. And now the McDonalds team up with award-winning music journalist Dan Epstein to tell their wild, hilarious and gloriously star-spangled tale. "To me, Redd Kross will always be one of the most important bands of the last 30-40 years." Thurston Moore (Sonic Youth)
