Cry for Help is the debut studio album by the Los Angeles-based deathrock band the Super Heroines.

Contents

Recorded at Fiddler Studion in Hollywood in 1982, the album, along with albums such as the complication Hell Comes to Your House, Christian Death's Only Theatre of Pain and 45 Grave's Sleep in Safety helped define the Los Angeles deathrock genre that emerged from the L.A. punk rock scene in the late 1970s and early 1980s.

Eva O formed the band after the break-up of the Speed Queens, retaining the group's bass player Sandra Ross (Sandra Lynn Rosendin) and recruiting drummer Del Mar Richardson. The songs I'm Not Here and Red were originally intended for the Speed Queens. [1]
