Show Your Bones, Part 2

Posted July 24 by Jeanne F.

First it was Tegan and Sara. Now the Donnas. If you’re in an all-female band, it seems that displaying renderings of your skulls on your t-shirts a la Appetite for Destruction is growing in popularity. While the Deciblog would hasten to call this a “fashion trend,” we back this design scheme 110 percent and encourage more ladies to do the same—Carrie Underwood, Beyonce, we’re looking at you. Rip the flesh from your perfectly flawless countenances and reveal your angular jawbones and extra-black eye sockets for the world to enjoy. As far as the T&S skulls and the Donnas skulls, we refuse to choose between hot Canadian twin lesbians who make fantastic tunes and hot Bay Area rock n roll vixens who make fantastic tunes, so don’t ask us to. It’s not fair. We wouldn’t make you do that. However, it goes without saying that the Donnas um, earned their bones, more traditionally than Tegan & Sara.

The Donnas were pretty much always destined to pass through the gates of the kingdom of metal. And they succeeded big-time with their last album Bitchin’. It became clear that the once three-chord punk band had studied arena rock and graduated with honors to Full Blown Hard Rock Excellence—Brett Anderson, Tori Castellano, Maya Ford, and Allison Robertson could support Iron Maiden any day of the week.

The Donnas' Greatest Hits is out now and you can also catch them on tour this summer with the not-metal-but-still-bad-ass Blondie and Pat Benatar. (Don’t act like you didn’t just get a station wagon-sized boner.) And get one of those t-shirts. You’ll see the Deciblog Army sporting them at the next Behemoth gig.
