Beginning with ham-fisted Kiss and Crue rock posturing and jailbait sex appeal, the Donnas have since evolved into a more accomplished and wider-reaching rock 'n' roll band. The world discovered the Donnas a few years ago when MTV and rock radio latched onto them like a needy baby at his mother's pant-leg; thankfully, all that attention hasn't diluted the band's energy or youthful spirit.
