Red Dons is the primary band from what’s called the Vagabond Sound Music Collective based in Portland, started by Doug Burns (lead vocals/guitar) and Hajji Husayn (bass/vocals). While many folks have been in and out of the band, this collection is Burns, Husayn, Richard Joachim (drums/vocals) and Will Kinser (lead guitar) of Born/Dead (see A library).

Pariah is a very fast, in yo’ face punk track with a flat, repetetive guitar melody in the background. These guys know how to rock out.

It’s Your Right is a GEM! It changes tempo a couple times in the song, and switches from what sounds like three different tracks. They fit together very well. PLAY THIS SONG!

Very versatile for a punk group, these guys are pro.

Good news for anyone upset that they had no way of rockin’ out to Fake Meets Failure on their Walkman. Our friends from The Great White North, Hosehead Records, have just released a cassette version of our 2010 album. It’s an extremely limited run, so be sure to get a copy before supplies run out. We have a limited amount available off our website. Just go to the store link at the top of the page. If we’ve run out, there should be more available at http://hoseheadrecords.bigcartel.com/ .

Here is a piece by Trish Bronte about Portland Punk featuring interviews with Red Dons and Tragedy. This originally aired on September 12th, 2011 as a segment on the Bra Trommis program on Radio Nova in Norway. It is narrated in Norwegian but our responses remain in English so you can still make out most of what the interview covers.
