The Red Dons are the continuation of the Observers. After members abruptly left the band in 2005, Douglas Burns, the Observers' lead singer, artist, and primary songwriter teamed up with Hajji Husayn to continue on with the band. Next, Justin Maurer (Clorox Girls) on guitar and re-named this new line-up the Red Dons. Death to Idealism is the group's first full-length album, and is perfect for fans of the Vicious, No Hope For the Kids, Gorilla Angreb, Clorox Girls, and of course the Observers. As to be expected, this record stays in tune with the melancholy, melodic, and sometimes unpredictable punk sounds of the Observers, and even features the excellent "Walk Alone" track which appeared on a previous Observers 7". Vinyl version with full color gatefold cover.
