Worcester Music Forum

I was a little sceptical that we'd find anything that could banish the bad weather blues, sure we could have walked into a jam night or checked out Worcester's women dancing up and down a greasy pole (don't ask!!!) but we wanted a band who could provide a ray of sunshine, a band that could get us grooving on our stools, a band that could get us singing a long. And to my utter shock we found one.

The Donns are a young five-piece ska-punk band who play with **** loads of energy, loud buzzing guitars, battered drums and an added touch of sax appeal that makes you want to get up on your feet and skank the night away. The band littered their set with contagious covers of the likes of Rancid (Roots Radicals), Bob Marley (Iron Lion Zion) and Less Than Jake (Gainsville Rock City) add to that the brilliant tongue in check, short and snappy original (I think!!!) Love Your Mother, a song that is catchier than the common cold a whole lot more fun and you have a damn fine band indeed.

The Donns are the perfect party no matter what the weather, if you want a group to run around and pogo like a loon to The Donns are the band for you.
