Out of the Boxx

Dana Raidt wrote one of the smartest reviews yet of Queens of Noise: The Real Story of the Runaways for Boxx Magazine, “where women are heard.” Raidt: “Through meticulous research, painstaking corroboration and interviews with Fowley, surviving band members (drummer Sandy West died in 2006) and their peers, McDonnell sifts through a messy mythology and turns up sharp analysis of the band’s formation, its turbulent trajectory and inevitable demise and the members’ unstable relationships with Fowley and each other.”
