The Other Kids
The Other Kids were an American alternative pop band formed in Madison, Wisconsin in 1985 by Steve Watson (lead vocals, guitars), Allyn Watson (bass, vocals), and Chris Fink (drums, vocals). One of the most popular Madison rock bands of the mid-to-late 80s, The Other Kids disbanded in 1992, just as the alternative pop sound they were known for began to break into the commercial mainstream.〔Carter, Nick. Milwaukee Journel Sentinel, March 13, 1998〕 The Milwaukee Shepherd called The Other Kids "probably Wisconsin's best classic pop-rock band, working those Alex Chiltonesque melodies together with empathetic intelligent lyrics, edgy guitars and a solid beat."〔Luhrssen, Dave. Milwaukee Shepherd, January 1998〕 The band's sound was a melodic mixture of power chords influenced by classic bands like The Who and the pure, guitar pop of The Hollies.〔Laskin, Tom. Isthmus, December 11, 1987〕
The Other Kids released three albums—''Living In The Mirror'' (1985), ''Happy Home'' (1986) and ''Grin'' (1990)--on Boat Records, an independent label owned by the Madison band, Spooner. Most of The Other Kids' work was produced by Butch Vig,〔Butch Vig#Production career 2〕 then the drummer for Spooner and owner of Smart Studios, where the band recorded all three albums. In 1997, five years after the band’s demise, the band's original analog tapes were remastered and released as a double-disk anthology called ''Neverland.''〔(All Music )〕 UK magazine Bucketfull of Brains called ''Neverland'' "an almost flawless collection (25 tracks and no filler), obscure, outstanding and excellent."〔Neto, Rafael Paulino. "Bucketfull of Brains" Issue 52, December 1998〕 The Big Takeover called the album, “a feast of crunchy tunes with superb harmonies, most of them on level with the best work of better known power-pop bands such as the Raspberries, Shoes, and the dB's."〔Lewis, Mick. "The Big Takeover" Issue 42, June 1998〕
Since ''Neverland'', The Other Kids' songs have been reissued various times, including a Japanese "best of" CD in 2005. In 2007, Chicago's Smog Veil Records〔Smog Veil Records#Artists〕 began distributing The Other Kids' work on iTunes and other download services.
