"Back on this side of the Atlantic, raw, in-your-face punk was roaring out of cities like New York City, Detroit and Cleveland. The Dead Boys' '77 single debut, "Sonic Reducer," sounds as edgy and unhinged today as it did then. Albums like 1977's Young, Loud and Snotty and the very un-P.C. We Have Come for Your Children (1978) signaled that the Dead Boys were not a family-friendly act."
"Sex Pistols, the Clash and the Damned are all punk pioneers, but they don't deserve all the credit for launching punk. Back on this side of the Atlantic, raw, in-your-face punk was roaring out of cities like New York City, Detroit and Cleveland. The Dead Boys' '77 single debut, "Sonic Reducer," sounds as edgy and unhinged today as it did then."
Raw, in-your-face punk emerged across American cities such as New York City, Detroit and Cleveland, parallel to British punk movements. The Dead Boys released their 1977 single debut "Sonic Reducer," which remains edgy and unhinged. Albums like 1977's Young, Loud and Snotty and 1978's We Have Come for Your Children signaled a deliberately provocative, not family-friendly aesthetic. Founding lead guitarist Cheetah Chrome continues to lead the band. The group plays live shows, including a scheduled performance on Fri, Sept 19 at 7pm at The Ritz in San Jose with tickets priced $20-$25. The Dead Boys performed at CBGB's in 1977.
