Album Notes

From 1985 to 1992, Steve Watson was the lead singer and guitarist for the Other Kids, Madison, WI's legendary indie-rock trio...

"...the great lost '80's power-pop band."
- The Big Takeover (June, '98)

Over the course of the Kids' three albums on the Boat Records label (two of them produced by Butch Vig of Garbage), Steve gained a solid reputation as a compelling and talented songwriter...

"...lead singer/guitarist Steve Watson managed to deliver 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."
- The Big Takeover (June, '98)

"There are few songwriters around who had a clearer take on the underside of the Yuppie Experience than Steve Watson."
- The Paper (Milwaukee, Feb, '98)

Wyoming Radio is Steve's first recording since the Other Kids broke up in '92.

The album was recorded in Denver, CO and Madison, WI. Steve wrote all the songs and performed all vocals, guitars, and bass lines on the album (except the bass line on "3-19" courtesy of Other Kid Allyn Watson).

Madison drummer Dan Cochems plays all drums and percussion throughout the disk.
