Biography

Redd Kross, led by brothers Jeff and Steven McDonald, blend punk, metal, and bubblegum influences to create a unique sound that has evolved over the years. Starting in the late '70s, the band's discography includes a range of styles from pop-metal to post-grunge, all while maintaining their love for '70s pop culture and catchy hooks. Their recent albums, like 2019's Beyond the Door and 2024's Redd Kross, showcase a mature lyrical approach while staying true to the band's energetic spirit.

The McDonald brothers' musical journey began at a young age, inspired by rock clubs and pop culture references. From their early punk-leaning days as the Tourists to their later success as Redd Kross, the band has navigated through lineup changes and legal challenges to continue producing music that captivates audiences. Their enduring career has seen them explore various side projects and collaborations while always coming back to their core sound, culminating in their self-titled album released in 2024.

Artist Affinity estimates how strongly an artist's audience overlaps with interest in specific brands, products, and categories. It is derived from aggregated social and behavioral signals—who fans follow, save, click, and engage with—normalized across platforms. Higher affinity suggests better partnership fit and higher likelihood that fans will respond positively to branded content or offers. Use it to shortlist natural brand partners and product concepts that feel authentic to the audience. Combine affinity with Connection Strength (ER) and reach to balance fit with impact. Treat affinity as directional—validate with creative tests and small pilots before scaling.

ER = (likes + comments + shares) ÷ audience per post ≥ 3.0% = Very Strong 2.0–2.99% = Strong 1.0–1.99% = Moderate < 1.0% = Low

How to read it: Pair ER with reach (views/followers) to gauge intensity and scale.
