The Kids' debut record dared to mix Brit glam with down and dirty American-style blues rock, but for all their musicianship and charisma, it came and went relatively unnoticed by music fans on both sides of the Atlantic. They even authored (arguably) an era-defining song - the defiantly nostalgic "It's All The Same" - but maybe people were actually expecting heavy metal from these guys? There's none of that here. Just the New York Dolls with more range and bonnie British accents. Who wants to listen to that? (I do).
