Portland, Oregon’s music scene is more of a constant explosion than anything else. There is always some great sound emanating from that city. Today, I’m featuring a relatively unknown Portland band, the Red Dons. Formed in 2005 from the remnants of punk band The Observers, their sound is uniquely garage-influenced and melodic. Their latest album, Death to Idealism (2007), is packed full of catchy, energetic songs – great for dancing (or in my case, bouncing around like a lunatic), I’d say. You won’t be able to resist at least a slight toe tap listening to their music. Seriously, test out my theory right now.
