Possibly the best band ever. Sings crazy songs with great political messages. Used to be fronted by Jello Biafra.
The Dead Kennedy's have songs like: "I Kill Children, Dear Abby, California Uber Allies, Anarchy For Sale, and I Fought the Law (And I Won)"

one of the best punk bands and possibly the best hardcore punk band of all time. Jello Biafra (first singer) had the quintessential punk rock voice. their songs mainly took aim at polotics. while there titles seemed vicious and evil (like 'kill the poor') they are usually metephorical for the issues that occurred around the time. they never sold out and they stayed true to their underground fanbase. they reformed in 2001 with a new singer, but have yet to leave their underground success behind them. a great band!
listen to 'holiday in cambodia' and you'll understand! ;) the dead kennedy's rock too hard!
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.
That's the Dead Kennedys in a nutshell.

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."

Extremely controversial Californian punk rock band. Used satirical and humourous lyrics to express their political views. The Kennedys split in 1986 and the band ensued in a legal tussle with vocalist Jello Biafra over song royalties. An incarnation of the Kennedys still tours today, but without Jello Biafra.
The Dead Kennedys are a real punk band, unlike the Casualties.

A band that definitive of Bay Area punk. It doesn't get any better than this.
The Dead Kennedys are dead without Jello.
