Primo Donna punk material

The Donnas are a punk-metal outfit that leaves subtlety to other bands. If the song "Take It Off," from their new album Spend the Night, isn't suggestive enough, then their slutty anthem "40 Boys in 40 Nights" from their 2001 album, The Donnas Turn 21, is.\nConsider them the anti-Josh Hartnett.\nIf you are a Gloria Steinem-style feminist, you are going to hate this. If you are a Camille Paglia-style feminist, you are going to like it. If you have any kind of sense of humor and a love for uptempo, ultramelodic rock, you are going to worship it. \nGuitarist Donna R. (a.k.a. Allison Robertson) comes up with one fiercely catchy guitar riff after another. Combined with excellent, sizzling production by Jason Carmer and Robert Shimp, the album gains a great momentum. Punk plays a huge role in the band's sound, but as previous covers of "Too Fast for Love" and "Living After Midnight" prove, they like their Motley Crue and Judas Priest too.\nThe lyrics are so shameless, though, that the band probably won't become famous and will instead inspire feelings of guilty pleasure. "Don't wanna go to the mall / Don't wanna go to the movies / I think we've done it all / Just take me to the backseat," lead vocalist Donna A. (a.k.a. Brett Anderson) sings on "Take Me to the Backseat."\nThey dis a bad date on "Not the One": "No, I don't want your eggs and bacon / And when I kissed you, I was fakin'." If you think eggs and bacon refers to the guy's breakfast culinary skills, you might want to read into the lyrics a little more.\nWith everybody else trying to bring a certain significance and profundity to their lyrics, all hail the Donnas. When, in an issue of Rolling Stone, Christina Aguilera wears nothing but a guitar on the cover and then whines about not being appreciated for her real singing talent, it's great to hear a group of real women in their early 20s enjoying both chasing and being chased.
