Influential 1970s New York punk act formed by Johnny Thunders (guitar, vocals and principal songwriter) and Jerry Nolan (drums) after they quit the New York Dolls, along with Richard Hell (vocals, bass) who had just left Television.

In 1976, Hell was replaced by Billy Rath.
Sometimes billed as "Johnny Thunders & The Heartbreakers" due to Thunders's ever growing notoriety.
