As a child of the 80s and a lifelong music enthusiast, I can’t help but feel a surge of nostalgia upon hearing about “Born Innocent: The Redd Kross Story.” Growing up, these guys were the embodiment of everything that was cool and edgy in my eyes. From their love for those iconic 70s fashions to their eclectic mix of punk, grunge, glam metal, and yes, even The Partridge Family, Redd Kross was a band that defied categorization.
Abramorama now holds global distribution rights for the cinema release of “Born Innocent: The Redd Kross Story,” a movie that delves into the history of the influential Los Angeles cult rock band, due out in the fall season.
Andrew Reich, as the director, created a documentary focusing on brothers and co-founders Jeff and Steven McDonald, along with their band’s impact within the Los Angeles music scene from the 1970s to present day. This film, both directed and produced by Reich, and additionally produced by Julian Cautherley, includes interviews with members from Pearl Jam, The Go-Go’s, Sonic Youth, Soundgarden, The Bangles, Black Flag, Dinosaur Jr, among others.
The documentary ‘Born Innocent: The Redd Kross Story’ was honored with the Jury Award for Best Documentary at the 2023 Sound Unseen Film Festival, and it has been showcased in multiple other film festivals as well.
EbMaster‘s reviewer, Jem Aswad, considered the ban as forward-thinking, stating, “It appears ludicrous to suggest now that their open admiration for those flamboyant styles, The Partridge Family, Mackenzie Phillips and other cultural icons from their youth was visionary (in a comparative sense), but the extraordinary documentary ‘Born Innocent’ demonstrates they were more forward-thinking than previously believed. Bands like Black Flag, Nirvana, and those from the indie and Seattle scenes, as well as Guns N’ Roses and Stone Temple Pilots, all followed their path.
In October, the band Redd Kross will release a book titled “Now You’re One of Us: The Extraordinary Tale of Redd Kross.” The book, co-authored with music journalist Dan Epstein, is set to be available in the U.K. on October 10 and in North America on October 29.
Established in 1978 and continuing their musical journey today, Redd Kross is a band that originated from the Southern California hardcore punk scene but showcased an unconventional style by blending elements of grunge, glam metal, and various other influences, such as Black Flag, The Partridge Family, and The Runaways.
Growing up in Los Angeles, Redd Kross has always been an enjoyable, significant, and vibrant band in my musical world,” said Evan Saxon, president and head of international distribution at Abramorama. “I had the pleasure of collaborating with Redd Kross in the past, and I’m thrilled to be working with them again. This documentary is a must-watch for any music lover.
The McDonald brothers from Redd Kross expressed their excitement over Abramorama’s decision to assist in presenting their story on screen authentically. Titled “Born Innocent: The Redd Kross Story,” this film offers an honest, humorous, and emotional glimpse into our lives. We can’t wait to reveal the truth behind the music, laughter, setbacks, and joy that have defined us to a wider audience.
Submarine handled international sales for the film “Born Innocent.
