Redd Kross invite you to explore Beyond the Door, an album inspired by the band's "total commitment to having the best f*cking time we can have while we're all still here." It's a rock and roll record and a celebration of everything brothers Jeff and Steven McDonald love, from cultures both high and low.

Musically, it's guitars, bass, and drums topped with a generous portion of sweet vocal melodies often delivered with an ambiguous edge.Beyond the Door marks Redd Kross' most collaborative record to date.

Steven describes this evolution: "Jeff and I haven't shared this much of the writing and singing since Born Innocent in 1981." Guitarist Jason Shapiro and drummer Dale Crover (Melvins, OFF!) are longtime members of the Redd Kross live band, but this album marks the pair's recorded debut with the group.

Beyond the Door includes notable guest appearances from Anna Waronker (That Dog), Geré Fennelly, Buzz Osborne (Melvins), and Josh Klinghoffer.Inspirations as varied as K-pop, glitter gangs, embarrassed tweens, long-term relationships, a mysterious character named Fantástico Roberto, and much more all contributed to Beyond the Door, an album that lures the listener into Redd Kross' secret club full of riddles and inside jokes, with the ultimate reward of the perfect pop moment!
