Kids on the Street is the third studio album by American band the Cherry Poppin' Daddies, released in 1996 on Space Age Bachelor Pad Records.
However, the Daddies' next album strayed from the brass-heavy swing and funk which dominated their first two releases in favor of further exploration into punk and ska.
With lead singer Steve Perry now assuming a role as a rhythm guitarist, Kids on the Street predominantly features guitar-driven ska and punk, though also branches into such genres as southern rock ("Luther Lane"), western swing ("Silver-Tongued Devil") and jazz ("Here Comes the Snake").
[3] Released in the midst of the American ska revival in 1996, Kids on the Street was the Daddies' most successful album at that time.
[4][5] Several of the album's songs appeared on numerous mid-1990s ska compilations, helping spread the Daddies' name further outside of their Pacific Northwest-centered fanbase.
