We Have Come for Your Children
We Have Come for Your Children is the second studio album by the American punk rock band Dead Boys. It was recorded and released in 1978, on Sire Records. The recording of the album was problematic for the group and sessions were halted when the band became convinced that producer Felix Pappalardi did not understand their music. The band subsequently tried but were unable to get James Williamson of the Stooges to salvage the sessions; they broke up a short time later.
