The Donnas are an all-female rock band from California. They formed in 1995 and have released this, their newest album with Atlantic. Along with their major label debut (Spend the Night), their video has been featured on MTV.
This is the big time. The Donnas have arrived. With their newest album to date, The Donnas seem to have nowhere to go but up. They still have their signature pop-punk sound but it's fused with classic and hard rock influences in a symbiotic relationship. With more bite then the Go-Go's, The Donnas use snappy guitar leads, solid drum work, and searing vocals to do their thing in your face. The recording sounds great, most likely due to a decent budget, and this just works to serve up what they're doing in style. If you think The Donnas have gotten where they are because of their looks, guess again. "Spend the Night" is all the evidence you need.
