Despite releasing records only on independent labels and receiving
virtually no radio play, Dead Kennedys routinely top both critic
and fan polls as the greatest punk band of the late 1970s and early
1980s. Their sound was inventive and tetchy, and front man Jello
Biafra's lyrics were incisive and often scathing. This
chronicle--the first in-depth book written about Dead
Kennedys--uses dozens of firsthand interviews, photos, and original
artwork to offer a new perspective on a group that was mired in
controversy almost from its inception. It examines and applauds the
band's key role in transforming punk rhetoric, both polemical and
musical, into something genuinely threatening and enormously funny.
Author Alex Ogg puts the local and global trajectory of punk into
context and, while not flinching from the wildly differing takes
the individual band members have on the evolution of the band,
attempts to be celebratory--if not uncritical.
