“RED DONS:
: 7″
There is a small hand of punk bands that are unmistakably down that, I’m sure, would have a very wide appeal among people who “used to like punk” or “outgrew punk,” as well as, “Oooh, what’s this punk stuff about?” people. I’m not talking about the Rancid/Green Day axis of mainstream appeal. I’m talking the potential Fugazi levels of sustainability—large level, international underground level. Because the Red Dons are instantly catchy, smart-as-all-hell, musically interesting, and so big and realized in sound, that I’m hard-pressed to think of a band with a largesse of morals that equals the excitement of the music they’re currently making. For those who like: punk and/or punk and celebrating under that huge fuckin’ umbrella. Untouchable and worth hunting down? Absolutely.

“Red Dons – “Pariah” – [Deranged Records]
Red Dons is the primary band from what’s called the Vagabond Sound Music Collective based in Portland, started by Doug Burns (lead vocals/guitar) and Hajji Husayn (bass/vocals). While many folks have been in and out of the band, this collection is Burns, Husayn, Richard Joachim (drums/vocals) and Will Kinser (lead guitar) of Born/Dead (see A library).
Pariah is a very fast, in yo’ face punk track with a flat, repetetive guitar melody in the background. These guys know how to rock out.
It’s Your Right is a GEM! It changes tempo a couple times in the song, and switches from what sounds like three different tracks. They fit together very well. PLAY THIS SONG!
Very versatile for a punk group, these guys are pro”

In care you don’t already have it the Red Dons Fake Meets Failure LP has been posted on another blog where you can download it for free.
“Check out this link to a radio segment about Portland Punk that originally aired on September 12th, 2011 on the Bra Trommis program on Radio Nova in Norway. The piece features interviews with Red Dons & Tragedy. It is narrated in Norwegian but our responses remain in English so you can still make out most of what the interview covers.”
Doom Town “Walking Through Walls” 7″ EP out today on New Dark Age records and Mastered here.
“We Are very proud to announce that we finally have the finished product more than a year in the making. Doom Town are a great punk band from St. Louis Mo. that play a raw style of punk with male/female melodies much like Los Angeles X, but with the raw energy of Gorilla Angreb. Listen for yourselves, this music is catchy and sharp. Doom Town will be touring Europe in January 2012.”
