The Donnas 'Bitchin' album

Bitchin’ is the aural thunderclap that is THE DONNAS brand new record, an unapologetically anthemic hard rock album. Their luscious locks must have been a four-way blur of headbanging fury at this recording session. Thirty shout-along, swaggering rockers were slimmed down to an album-length fourteen tunes, all written or co-written by THE DONNAS and co-produced by Jay Ruston (The Polyphonic Spree, Meat Loaf).

Brett Anderson, THE DONNAS’ power-house lead singer, explains: “The making of our new record was a wild and educational ride. We wanted to reach more people with this album and that inspired us to really challenge ourselves in the studio. We learned a lot about songwriting in the process and had time for once to experiment and develop our sound, which combines everything we know and love from our previous records with a new life and ravenous energy, a feeling that is summed up in the title”. “Bitchin’” was even somewhat of a cathartic process for THE DONNAS’ furious femme fatale of the four string, bassist Maya Ford: “Writing this record made me realize that I could get something good out of even the worst relationship. I ditched the guy and we got the songs. I’m stronger than I was yesterday because of it”.

Bitchin’ is a refreshingly loud, unbridled album, and it also significantly marks THE DONNAS return to complete career independence. Bitchin’ will be released on September 18, 2007, on THE DONNAS’ very own Purple Feather Records (available through Redeye Distribution). The band has parted ways with Atlantic Records (which released THE DONNAS last two albums, Gold Medal and the hugely successful Spend The Night) to create their own record company.
