Trumpeting their return to record racks this week, Palo Alto's favorite rock daughters the Donnas will soon shoot a video and launch an ambitious two-month U.S. tour.

The gals delivered their sophomore effort, "Get Skintight," to record stores this week, and with it brought another dose of the enthusiastic punk anthems that helped drum up support for their 1998 debut "American Teenage Rock 'N' Roll Machine." The band brings just a touch more polish this time, as well as a cover of the Mötley Crüe classic "Too Fast For Love."
