The greatest goddamn punk band ever to walk the earth, and proof that all good things must come to an end. Active from the late-70s to mid-80s, the Dead Kennedys consisted of vocalist Jello Biafra, guitarist East Bay Ray, drummer D.H. Peligro, and bassist Klaus Flouride. Producing five studio albums, the Dead Kennedys wrote songs that still ring true in this day and age
"MTV get off the air...NOW!"- Dead Kennedys, 1985
"Amen to that"- all intelligent people worldwide, 2010
"The law don't mean shit if you've got the right friends, that's how this country's run." Dead Kennedys, from their version of "I Fought the Law", rewritten about the Moscone-Milk assassinations.
"What else is new?" -people watching news coverage about the financial crisis, 2008-present

Take a look at the left side of politics.
Now look at the right side.
Now picture four angry punks right in the middle, flipping off both parties.

The raddest fuckin punk band on the planet. Their best songs are: Police Truck, Soup Is Good Food, MTV Get Off The Air, Riot, Forest Fire, Halloween, and Winnebago Warrior.
Chris Koteras: "DK sucks!"
Justin: "Fuck you, you little bitch! The dead kennedys are so kickass, they single-handedly created the Bay Area punk scene, fought against the PMRC, and had a fun time doin' it. So go suck your moms massive cock, faggot."
