The Dead Boys were one of the best bands of the era, and these alternate mixes of the already classic "Young, Loud and Snotty" really hit the jackpot with this reviewer. Sounds the way punk should sound, really crude and rough. Cheetah's guitar is right in ur throat from the first note, and Stiv's maniacal Iggy on a bad day vox are perfect for this mess. All songs on this torch you like an outta control flame thrower. "Sonic Reducer" is the covered-to-death classic, but everything else kills too. The S/M anthem "What Love Is" , the boredom oozing "Ain't Nothing to Do" the drugged out, hungover desperation of "High Tension Wire" or my personal fave, Stiv yelping and screaming his way thru "Down in Flames". Not intellectual like the Voidods or ... Read More:

Loved this c/d sounds again like journey, styx.....If you like that sort of thing you will love it.....I just seem to have a problem with the singer his high pitch sounds like pinky and perky if you remember them from the late 60`s?....

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. ... Read More:

Search : Young Loud and Snotty [CASSETTE]
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.
