Spend the Night by The Donnas
Spend the Night is an album by The Donnas, released in 2002. 3 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 25 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Take It Off”, on 22 lists with a best position of #37.
Spend the Night, the Donnas' fifth album, came out on Atlantic in 2002, and it was the Palo Alto four-piece's jump to a major label after years as a cult favorite on the punk circuit. Brett Anderson sings, Allison Robertson plays guitar, Maya Ford handles bass and Torry Castellano drums, with all three shouting backup behind Anderson.
The sound is punk with its sleeves rolled up: the rush of the Ramones and the Runaways, plus a fat slab of AC/DC and Kiss riffing that shoves it toward metal and classic rock. Take It Off, a fists-up rocker, became their most successful single and even cracked the UK top 40, and the album was the first Donnas record to reach the Billboard 200. By 2005 it had sold 450,000 copies in the States.
