Landing firmly on the rock side of punk's art/rock divide, Cleveland-via-CBGB's Dead Boys were knuckle-headed purveyors of raw, sneering rock & roll. Forming after the dissolution of the fabled band Rocket from the Tombs, the Dead Boy's released their debut album, the appropriately titled YOUNG LOUD AND SNOTTY, in 1977. Although they never came close to commercial success, they are considered a seminal early punk band. Singer Stiv Bators, who formed Lords of the New Church in 1981, died in 1990. Guitarist Cheetah Chrome joined a reformed Rocket from the Tombs in 2003.
