Dead Kennedys

[OriginalGeek]

2. Love them

There's a band, sans Jello, touring as DK nowadays but I haven't heard if they are any good. I kinda think it's not DK without Biafra.

Some bands can get away with that but not them.

But Jello shows up in some pretty cool places - he's contributed vocals to one my other favorite bands, Napalm Death and Barney of ND is a huge fan of DK. They cover Nazi Punks Fuck Off in every show I've seen and I assume most, if not all, of the ones I haven't.


That reminds me, I need to add Dead Kennedys to my vinyl hunt. I've recently decided to start collecting vinyl records again and I think all my current DK is on CD (or stolen from the internet lol)...

and the Napalm Death cover:

Punk ain't no religious cult
Punk means thinking for yourself
You ain't hardcore cos you spike your hair
When a jock still lives inside your head

Nazi punks
Nazi punks
Nazi punks-Fuck Off!

Nazi punks
Nazi punks
Nazi punks-Fuck Off!

If you've come to fight, get outa here
You ain't no better than the bouncers
We ain't trying to be police
When you ape the cops it ain't anarchy

[Repeat chorus]

Ten guys jump one, what a man
You fight each other, the police state wins
Stab your backs when you trash our halls
Trash a bank if you've got real balls

You still think swastikas look cool
The real nazis run your schools
They're coaches, businessmen and cops
In a real fourth reich you'll be the first to go

[Repeat chorus]

You'll be the first to go
You'll be the first to go
You'll be the first to go
Unless you think
