Spawned on the University of Rhode Island campus in early ‘65, The Others recorded their classic punker "Can’t Stand This Love, Goodbye" for RCA in June of the same year. The song was released that fall and The Others soon became one of RI’s most popular bands. The band released three singles between ’65 and ’67. Two issued on RCA and one on Jubilee. Their sound was a combination of punk, pop, and folk. Their sound ranged from sigh-cry-and-die moaners, epitomized in their single "Until I Heard It From You", to drug-referenced-bubblegum-psych, with the aptly titled "My Friend the Wizard". These efforts are worthy of high acknowledgment. The members: Jim Destout, Mike Brand, Pete Shepley, John Costa, and Mike Patalano were all URI students, except Costa who attended Brown, would end their assocation by the fall of ‘65. Costa left to concentrate on his studies and was replace by another Brown student, Bob Johnson, until their end in 1968. The songwriters in the band Mike Brand and Pete Shepley would go on to form the band Chelsea in NYC around ‘69.
