Our Take

DEAD BOYS' latest offering, 3rd Generation Nation, is a whirlwind ride through the punk rock landscape. With their trademark snarling vocals and pounding drums, this Ohio-based band delivers a no holds barred assault on the senses.

Kicking off with the anthemic title track, 3rd Generation Nation sets the tone for an album that is equal parts nostalgia and rebellion. Tracks like "Sonic Reducer 2.0" and "Anarchy in the Midwest" showcase the band's ability to channel the energy of their punk rock predecessors while still pushing the boundaries of the genre.

Lead singer Johnny Trash brings a raw, unapologetic presence to each track, his gravelly voice cutting through the wall of sound created by guitarist Cheetah Chrome and drummer Johnny Blitz. The result is a cacophony of noise that is as exhilarating as it is chaotic.

However, 3rd Generation Nation is not without its missteps. Tracks like "Pogo 'til You Drop" and "Safety Pin Sideshow" veer dangerously close to parody, feeling more like caricatures of punk rock than genuine expressions of the genre.

Overall, DEAD BOYS' 3rd Generation Nation is a raucous, rough-around-the-edges album that will satisfy fans of the band's previous work. While it may not break new ground in the punk rock world, it serves as a reminder that sometimes all you need is a loud guitar and a message of rebellion to make a statement.

About the artist

Dead Boys

DEAD BOYS are the epitome of raw, unfiltered rock 'n' roll. Hailing from Cleveland, Ohio, this band burst onto the punk scene in the 1970s with their chaotic live shows and rebellious attitude. Led by the charismatic frontman Stiv Bators, DEAD BOYS quickly gained a cult following for their high-energy performances and anthemic, anthemic anthems (yes, we said anthemic twice - that's how good they are). The band's debut album "Young, Loud and Snotty" is a punk rock classic, packed full of blistering guitar riffs, pounding drums, and Bators' snarling vocals. Tracks like "Sonic Reducer" and "All This and More" are punk rock anthems that still sound fresh and vital today. DEAD BOYS' music is a sonic assault on the senses, a mix of glam rock swagger and punk rock attitude that will leave you begging for more. Despite their short-lived career, DEAD BOYS left a lasting impact on the punk rock landscape. Their influence can be heard in the music of countless bands that followed in their footsteps, from The Ramones to The Dead Kennedys. With their rebellious spirit and unapologetic approach to rock 'n' roll, DEAD BOYS will always be remembered as one of the true pioneers of punk music. So if you're looking for some high-octane, no-holds-barred rock 'n' roll, look no further than DEAD BOYS. These guys may be long gone, but their music lives on as a testament to the power of punk rock. Check out their discography today and prepare to have your mind blown.
