I Real Kids di John Felice (che era stato nei Modern Lovers di Jonathan
Richman) catalizzarono la scena punk-rock di Boston, ma
il loro singolo d'esordio (il leggendario All Kindsa Girl del 1977)
e i brani migliori (Baby's Book) dell'album
Real Kids (Redstar, 1978)
erano influenzati soprattutto dagli Stones piu` "duri".

John Felice's Real Kids were catalyzers of the Boston punk scene, although the
sound of their 1977 debut single
(the legendary All Kindsa Girl) and the best tracks
migliori (My Baby's Book) off the album
Real Kids (Redstar, 1978)
were mainly influenced by early Rolling Stones.
The group disbanded in 1980. Felice moonlighted briefly in the Taxi Boys,
then reformed the Real Kids and recorded
Outta Place (Star Rhythm, 1982), that includes
Outta Place and
Can't Talk To That Girl.
She, off Hit You Hard (New Rose, 1983), was their last classic.
Felice will surface again with the
Lowdowns (Ace Of Hearts, 1988), but the sound had mutated into
conventional punk-pop.
The New Rose Years (Munster, 2003) collects
Outta Place (1982),
Hit You Hard (1983) and a live album.
