The Side Eyes
So Sick
In The Red Records [2017]
Southern California punk quartet The Side Eyes deliver a very raw in your face debut that rides on the fire inside of 22-year old lead singer Astrid McDonald. McDonald is the daughter of Go-Go’s guitarist-songwriter Charlotte Caffey and Redd Kross singer-guitarist Jeff McDonald so she has a knack for the business at a young age and after she rips through songs like “I Hate Dates” and “Teenage Jerk,” you know what you are in for. If the Descendants met the Red Aunts and punked out some tracks – you get The Side Eyes with 25 minutes of pedal to the floor. I can’t wait to see what this band does next.
