JELLO BIAFRA AND THE GUANTANAMO SCHOOL OF MEDICINE - Audacity Of Hype LP (colour vinyl)

Limited edition blue colour vinyl. Black wax also available.

15th Anniversary reissue.

Highly recommended.

Dead Kennedys comparisons are understandable....listen to that guitar sound on "Clean as a Thistle" and "Electronic Plantation" (love the creepy intro on the latter) - sounds like a watered-down East Bay Ray (no insult meant). But this album is a bit more straight-up than the classic DK's records that were some of the most experimental punk rock around at the time....remember the psych-guitar freak out at the beginning of "Holiday in Cambodia"? But anyways, Jello's latest collaboration has some sting in it's tail.

Jello has experimented so much in previous match ups - Lard being notable, and ... being particularly amazing - that it's kinda cool to hear him ranting his polemical barbs over some good old punk/hardcore. It ain't generic, but it's direct and the impact is immediate.
