American punk rock band formed from members of Rocket From The Tombs; notable for the 1977 debut Young, Loud And Snotty and the 1978 album We Have Come For Your Children. Singer Stiv Bators died in 1990.

Formed 1976; born from Rocket From The Tombs; Joey and Dee Dee Ramone guested on We Have Come For Your Children; Stiv Bators died in a traffic accident in Paris in 1990.

Two DeBaser reviews discuss the Dead Boys' seminal 1977 debut Young, Loud And Snotty and its 1978 follow-up We Have Come For Your Children. Reviewers praise the raw energy of the debut (notably "Sonic Reducer") and find the second album less consistent but containing notable tracks. The reviews note the band's roots in Rocket From The Tombs and the premature death of singer Stiv Bators in 1990.

For:Fans of 1970s punk, students of punk history, classic rock listeners

 

Let's think about the Dead Boys led by the late Stiv Bators: a group of laid-back Yankees, hooligans with ugly and disturbing faces (which good old Lombroso would not have hesitated to label as "criminals"), lovers of wild partying and rock 'n' roll.

Sonic Reducer, which opens the album, can undoubtedly be considered one of the classics of this genre, alongside Anarchy in the UK by the Pistols.
