Archive material and source history
80's Kids were a pop band from Los Angeles that formed in 1982. They released their self-titled debut album in 1984, but it was their 1986 sophomore album and its title track "Won't Give Up" that people remember. The song became something of an anthem for its straightforward message about not quitting.
Their music had a fairly typical 80s pop-rock sound, with John Parr on vocals and guitar, Alfie Silas on guitar, Jamie West on keyboards, and Steve DiGiorgio on bass. They put out one more album called "Get Away" in 1989 before fading from regular rotation.
While the existing history mentions various challenges and controversies, the concrete details are thin. What remains is that one song, "Won't Give Up," which still gets occasional play decades later. It's the kind of track that shows up in movie montages when a character needs to push through something.
