Turn 21

by

The Donnas

Edit

And they don't care who knows it...Using typically male oriented themes, they jam about men groupies, getting high, and the angst that comes along with being a teenager. I had never heard of them til I saw the mediocre movie "drive me crazy" on HBO. The movie was just ok, but their cameo appearance ROCKED! Since then I have been downloading everything by them that I can get my hands on. 40 Boys in 40 Nights is a typical "getting booty on the road" song, and are they ashamed to admit it??? HELL NO!!!! The cover of Judas Priest's "Livin' AFter Midnite" is also a JAM! Over all every cut is as good as the last....so if you are into hardcore guitar riffs backed up by a sweet baby girl voice, check out THE DONNAS....Even if you think a girl band is too "soft " for you, take heed: THESE ARE NOT THE GO-GOS!! The whole disc is excellent background music for your morning coffee, or sex, or WHATEVER. Do yourself a favor and check it out.....

hey all,

So The Donnas lift my spirits with a new LP. Lemme say, some things get better with age. Donna R.'s guitar solos seem better planned and Donna A. spits some venom on "Are You Gonna Move It For Me?"...>"But you wrote a bad review of our show, if you don't like us what are you doing standing in the front row?" Hell yeah! to the naysayers and jealous "musicians" who take themselves too seriously: You only wish you could shrug your shoulders at the world and rock like The Donnas!

True, The Donnas aren't an indepth band, and that's fine with me cuz sometimes we all just need to cut loose and have some fun. "Turn 21" appears more focused than their previous records, but it could use the backup vocals that made "American Teenage Rock N' Roll Machine" so damn good. "Turn 21" isn't as fast either, but Donna A. is lettin' the world know that she can out-party you AND command the stage better than you :) ha ha ha. ah..if only YOUR birthday was as good as "Turn 21"
