Dead Boys — artist information

Like a switchblade to the eardrum, Dead Boys concerts are a primal scream given form. The air crackles with an exhilarating, dangerous electricity, a raw nerve ending of pure punk rock. Bodies crash, sweat flies, and every riff feels like a deliberate assault, dragging you into a mosh pit maelstrom. It’s glorious, unapologetic chaos, a relentless, sneering sonic assault that leaves you vibrating with a visceral, thrilling intensity long after the last chord dies.

Genres: punk, punk rock.
