They might have gotten older and might not have released any music since 1997, but Redd Kross has reappeared with a record as catchy as anything they've ever put out. I'm a little slow on the intake with this record released last August, but so many records so little time, yadda yadda. While this might not have made my list of very best records of 2012, it would have been close; and the track "Stay Away from Downtown" would have definitely made my list of best songs of the year - it's been stuck in my head from the first listen. Like always it's song after song of peppy power pop punch, Redd Kross being the masters of this brand of songsmithery. All young bands should immediately take notice.
