The Dead Boys is a Punk rock act. Their sound grew out of Syndicate of Sound and Ramones. Those roots explain a lot about how The Dead Boys arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Richard Hell and the Voidoids, Stiv Bators, New York Dolls, The Adverts and Stiff Little Fingers, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into The Offspring, Disfear, Plasmatics and The Lords of the New Church, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 23 connections around The Dead Boys, reaching back through Syndicate of Sound and forward to The Offspring.
