DeBaser hosts a single detailed review of The Real Kids' 1977 self-titled debut, praising its blend of 1950s rock'n'roll influences with punk energy and power-pop hooks. The reviewer highlights "All Kindsa Girls," covers like "Rave On," and the album's raw garage sound. Recommended for fans of vintage rock, early punk, and tight, riff-driven songs.
