The upcoming releases and Tim&#8217;s note.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Led by the master songwriting of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thevinyldistrict.com\/storefront\/2017\/03\/still-fuckin-doing-it-the-real-kids-john-felice\/\">John Felice<\/a>, the Real Kids produced classic track after track throughout the mid to late 70s Boston punk scene to mostly local acclaim. Even though they did gain a cult following as the 80s wore on, they never really achieved the same level of recognition as other bands. This is something that the fine folks at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cryptrecords.com\/\">Crypt<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nortonrecords.com\/\">Norton<\/a> have long sought to correct. While the Real Kids still occasionally perform (with Felice the lone remaining member), nothing really matches the intensity of their\u00a0early years when the band burned with an unrestrained fury. Sadly, original members Alan &#8220;Alpo&#8221; Paulino and Billy Borgioli are no longer with us as both passed away from sudden medical issues within the past few years. That along with the ailing Felice&#8217;s tenacity makes the Real Kids musical journey all the more poignant.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking to Tim a month ago, he emphasized how incredulous\u2014and criminal\u2014it was that the Real Kids never got their due. And as if to prove it, he blasted the test pressing of this release. &#8220;Isn&#8217;t this fuckin&#8217; AMAZING!&#8221; I had to agree. So, to find these CDs in my mailbox a couple of days ago along with a nice note from Tim was a more than just a pleasant surprise.<\/p>\n<p>For neophytes, I recommend checking out the classic first LP available as a remastered reissue from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nortonrecords.com\/414-real-kids-lp-ed-414\/\">Norton Records<\/a>. For the rest of us who already have a ton of Real Kids material, keep an eye out for this one. It should be hitting the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cryptrecords.com\/\">Crypt<\/a> mail order site soon.<\/p>\n<p>Also coming soon to this blog, an exclusive interview with garage rock savior Tim Warren himself where he discusses all things Crypt as well as his NYC years.
