2024 marks the 50th anniversary of one of the most important, if not the most important, bands in punk history.
The Ramones were an American punk rock band formed in the New York City neighborhood Forest Hills, Queens in 1974.

"DEAD BOY! -- DEAD BOY RUNNING SCARED!
DEAD BOY! -- CAUGHT IN A NUCLEAR WEIRD!"
PIC(S) INFO: Spotlight on a mega photo-set of American punk rock band DEAD BOYS, performing live in New York (maybe CBGB, maybe not), c. 1977. 📸: Mykel Board.
"THE DEAD BOYS are part of a new generation at CBGB, a generation that has finally succeeded in erasing that fine line that divides the cool from the retarded. The most prominent of the new bands, they recently signed a contract with Sire Records and their first LP, "Young Snotty And Loud," is due for release in September.
British fans will already know them for the two impressive tracks on the "New Wave" compilation -- "Sonic Reducer" and "Dead Boys."
Stiv Bators (vocals), Johnny Blitz (drums), Jeff Magnum (bass), Jimmy Zero and Cheetah Chrome (guitars) grew up in Cleveland Ohio. They went to Catholic
schools (where Stiv claims he used to fake epileptic fits in study hall), worked in factories and eventually joined together in a band called ROCKET FROM THE TOMBS. A fight where they beat up another band with pool cues got them barred from playing in Cleveland clubs. There were fist fights at rehearsals, and on one occasion Stiv attacked Cheetah with a spaghetti strainer."
JIMMY ZERO: "I think it was a transitional phase. We were pretty violent people. We hadn't learned to channel it out through music."
-- SOUNDS (UK), "New York's Answer to the Pistols, and they've got the Scars to Prove it." August 27, 1977
