This album is the best punk album I've got and have ever heard. This really is as cool as punk ever got. Most punk albums I find I like a few songs and kinda hate the rest of them. It's rare to find an album that's good all the way through - but this one really is; no fillers - just good songs. I think their record label at the time where allegedly a good part of the reason that they only recorded two studio albums and didn't get the publicity they deserved(Lou Reed was going to produce their 2nd one but the record label changed that). They played at CBGB's with The Ramones and Blondie among others and John Belushi("The") played drums with them there more than once.
This band where part of the scene where it all started and the singer Stiv Bator/s used to see Madonna, while the drummers wife later got married to James Caan!! what I'm trying to convey to you here is that these guys were cool and so is this music.
I happened across the band last week while looking through Amazon reviews & links (which you've got to admit is pretty d_mn usefull) and the name rang a bell from reading Kerrang in the eighties, something I meant to buy but forgot to along the way. It's instantly become one of my all time favourite albums.
Hopefully with bands like The Strokes having come along and "Saved Rock n' Roll", lost gems like the Dead Boys will get some of the recognition they REALLY DESERVE before they're forgotten forever. Do yourself a favour - buy this album and enjoy it; it's good music.

The Dead Boys never made it as big as those other purveyors of New York punk, Blondie and The Ramones, but their debut album is worth checking out. It's high-octane thrills all the way, starting with punk classic "Sonic Reducer" (one of the tracks borrowed from the demise of the original Rockets from the Tomb), the first five tracks are all highlights on the album.
"Hey Little Girl" isn't my favourite version of Syndicate of Sound's garage punk classic, but it is
competently done and worth a listen. The fact that this live track was recorded in legendary punk hangout CBGBs (one time home of the aforementioned Blondie and The Ramones among others) makes it an even worthier addition to the album.
The Dead Boys retain some of the rockabilly feel of Rocket from the Tomb (both bands were originally from Cleveland) and are essentially Gene Vincent on speed. The late Stiv Bators was a manic frontman and Cheetah Chrome on lead guitar with Jeff Magnum on bass give able support. If you like your punk rock hard and fast, this is definetly worth a listen (or ten).

The Dead Boys never really broke through into the public's consciousness, despite being one of the earlier punk bands. On 'YLS' though, they're focussed on their anger and buzzsaw guitars, Stiv Bators muttering and cursing between his hoarse vocals. The cover shot shows the band lurking like rats in an alley and their musical world is indeed that of a disease-infested underclass. Edgy and exciting almost throughout, they slip up occasionally: 'What Love Is,' for instance, doesn't have the intensity of most of the other songs. 'Sonic Reducer' sets the pace with an arresting intro, while 'Not Anymore' relies heavily on an impassioned delivery and the blam blam of 'Ain't Nothin' To Do' is punk at its best. The live 'Hey Little Girl' is another highlight. This is a popular punk track, having been also recorded by The Banned at around the same time. 'YLS' is an important addition for anyone who likes this genre.
