In 1984, lead guitarist Robert Hecker joined the band, as they embarked on tour in support of Teen Babes from Monsanto. In 1984, Redd Kross returned with drummer Dave Peterson to record Teen Babes from Monsanto, an album featuring covers by Kiss, David Bowie, The Rolling Stones, and The Shangri-Las. Not long after the release of the album, the group was threatened with a lawsuit from the International Red Cross and changed the spelling of their name to Redd Kross, allegedly being inspired by Redd Foxx. The album also contains nods to Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker, Tatum O'Neal, and Lita Ford.

Full of the brothers' pop culture obsessions, Born Innocent featured odes to Linda Blair (who starred in a television movie of the same name), a cover of "Look on Up from the Bottom" by the Carrie Nations from Beyond the Valley of the Dolls, and Charles Manson (whose song " Cease to Exist" they covered). They appeared on the Posh Boy compilation The Siren, and then to complete the lineup on their first full-length album, Born Innocent, they assembled a revolving door of musicians including original drummer John Stielow. Eventually, Hetson left to join the Circle Jerks (and later Bad Religion) and Reyes left for Black Flag. They soon began working on their 1980 debut self-titled EP. They eventually changed the band name to Red Cross, which was allegedly inspired by the masturbation scene in the film The Exorcist.
Other songs such as 'Cover Band', 'S&M Party' and 'I Hate My School' were also played that same first practice. The first song they played was 'Annette's Got the Hits'. In April 1979, the band had their first practice in the living room of original drummer, John Stielow's parent's living room. The band has since released seven albums and three EPs. With the addition of friends Greg Hetson and John Stielow on drums, the band's first gig was opening for Black Flag.
