Vocalist Brett Anderson, guitarist Allison Robertson, bassist Maya Ford and drummer Torry Castellano formed The Donnas in May 1993, adopting the respective stage names Donna A, Donna R, Donna F and Donna C, putting out their first, independently released album in 1997.
Taking inspiration from the punky pop rock of the Ramones and The Runaways, mixed with the classic rock of Bachman-Turner Overdrive and KISS, by 2002, they had come to the attention of Atlantic Records, who proclaimed, “The Donnas spit out idiosyncratic pop-punk anthems of rock ‘n’ roll fantasy and teenage kicks with plenty of goofy putdowns and tough-attitude posturing, largely fuelled by their life on the road." And if you were in any doubt, they were, "Inspired by AC/DC, the Sex Pistols and Madonna, Donna A’s lipstick-snarl vocals pummel Donna C’s and Donna F’s furious chug and Donna R’s early Guns n’ Roses guitar wall.”
