A more mature attitude? Released just a year after The Donnas’ first, self-titled record, American Teenage Rock’N’ Roll Machine slowed the tempos a bit-think more Runaways and KISS, less Ramones-but, with songs like “Checkin’ It Out” and “Leather on Leather, ” the libidinous lyrics remained unchecked. Nor did The Donnas’ penchant for crafting catchy hooks, supercharged by the budding guitar heroics of Allison Robertson. This reissue comes with a fresh remastering for vinyl from the original masters by Mike Milchner, and features band commentary along with the original “pin-up” calendar. Yellow and black swirl pressing. Shake in the action! Yellow and black Swirl Vinyl.
