Dead Kennedys : Fresh fruit for rotting vegetables, the early years
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.

It examines the band's key role in transforming punk rhetoric, both polemical and musical, into something genuinely threatening and enormously funny
