Despite having been around since the late '70s, there aren't a ton of Redd Kross recordings out there, especially not outside their handful of studio albums. Hot Issue helps to alleviate that imbalance by rounding up a tidy batch of rarities, outtakes, and previously unreleased tracks mostly from their mid- to late-'90s stint with Atlantic Records, but also stretching back to the early '80s and forward to the late 2000s. The most well-known song here is their brilliant 1995 single "Switchblade Sister," but everything else they dug out of the archives is just as fun and fresh-sounding. Their take on the New York Dolls' "Puss N Boots" dates from 1983 and has an unbridled, youthful kick which makes sense, since the brothers McDonald were still quite young at the time. The tracks from the '90s show the band at the top of their game; it's hard to figure out why tracks like the romping "Pop Show" and "That Girl" weren't finished and released. They sound like classic Redd Kross, in the vein of "Switchblade Sister," which is featured here in an alternate mix. Along with more gems like the ultra-hooky "Starlust" and the strutting "Insatiable Kind" they could have polished but were instead shelved, the collection also reveals some interesting directions the band could have gone if they wanted to change their formula drastically. "Take It Home" is sample-heavy psychedelia that sounds like their vitriolic take on Tom Petty's "Don't Come Around Here," "It's a Scream" is super spooky garage psych. There's also revved-up cover of Kim Fowley's "Motorboat" from Steven McDonald's solo EP from 2002, an epic Queen-like piano ballad "Born to Love You," and one demo they did end up redoing in the studio for an album. "Don't Take Your Baby Downtown" is a jangly power pop confection here in rough form; the band changed the title to "Stay Away from Downtown," added new lyrics, and cranked the amps up past ten in the process of turning it into a vintage Kiss-style rocker on their excellent Researching the Blues album. Hot Issue isn't perfect -- what the world really needs is a collection that covers all the many single tracks, covers, and other cool things the band recorded and sometimes released. Until that happy day comes along, this will do just fine. ~ Tim Sendra

Daredevil Records use The Planet app powered by Shopify to neutralize your shipping emissions and removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Daredevil Records has committed to donating the most amount of money possible from your order to offset C02 emissions.

This includes funding innovative solutions such as direct air capture and mineralization, and a small portion of nature-based carbon removal. These funds companies such as 44.01, Carbofex, CarbonBuilt, CarbonCure, Charm Industrial, Climeworks, DroneSeed, Grassroots Carbon, Heirloom Carbon, Loam, Noya, Pachama, Planetary, Remora, Running Tide, and Sustaera. |
Carbon Removal Process
Carbon removal is the process of capturing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and then storing it.
For example, if a truck or a plane that delivers your shipment releases 1 kg of carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere, and you are subscribed to the Planet app, then Shopify ensures that 1kg of CO2 is also sucked from the atmosphere and stored away using solutions and technologies in Shopify Sustainability Fund.
There is a fast-growing and evolving sector with many carbon removal technologies in different stages of development. These technologies include nature-based solutions, such as reforestation and soil carbon sequestration and more high-tech solutions, such as direct air capture and mineralization.
How Shipping Emissions Are Calculated
The Planet app combines data from our store with industry data and peer-reviewed models to estimate how much CO2 your shipments release into the environment. Because the Planet app makes sure that CO2 shipping emissions are removed entirely, all values that are used in the data models are rounded up.
Review the following table to learn more about the which data is used to determine shipping emissions:

Truck emissions |
To estimate your emissions, the Planet app uses order tracking data associated with the tracking number assigned to the shipment. If the tracking number isn’t available or the shipping carrier isn’t supported, then the Planet app multiplies the estimated emissions by an uncertainty factor of 1.5. The uncertainty factor helps make sure that all your emissions are removed. If any data is inconsistent or missing, then the Planet app uses a reasonable maximum value instead.
For example, suppose that you ship a package from Boston to New York. The straight-line distance is 305.94 km, but the shortest road route is around 350 km. If tracking data is available, then the Planet app uses the exact distance traveled.
However, if no tracking data is provided, then 305.94 km is used in the base calculation, and the resulting emissions would be multiplied by 1.5. This calculation accounts for variations in the route, such as distances traveled from post offices and distribution centers, and the route taken by the courier to deliver the package to your customer's door.
Considerations for using the Planet app
Review the following considerations for the Carbon Neutral Shipping Planet app:
- The models and estimates aren’t exact, but the Planet app overestimates your emissions to make sure that they’re entirely removed.
- The Planet app removes only carbon (CO2) emissions that account for 95% of the climate impact from burning fossil fuels for transportation. Other emissions such as CH4, N2O, and GHG aren’t removed.
- Orders that are shipped by sea transportation (we do not ship any orders by sea) don't generate the data required to accurately calculate emissions. Instead, industry-accepted alternative methods are used to calculate emissions.
- The Planet app currently focuses on addressing emissions from shipping-related transportation.
