Biafra, Jello -and The Guantanamo School Of Medicine-
The Audacity Of Hype
Biafra's first full-time working band since the Dead Kennedys, and it shows On board are Ralph Spight (Victims Family, Freak Accident, Hellworms), Jon Weiss (Sharkbait, Horsey), Billy Gould (Faith No More), and Kimo Ball (Freak Accident, Carneyball Johnson, Mol Triffid, Griddle). Shepard Fairey parody cover artwork by Fairey himself with assistance from John Yates. The Audacity of Hype was produced by Biafra and engineered by hip hop producer and longtime co-conspirator Matt Kelley (Hieroglyphics, The Coup, Digital Underground, Victims Family, Tumor Circus). The bands twin guitar attack retains some of the space-punk overtones and spy-music-on-meth chaos of The Dead Kennedys while adding a healthy dose of Detroit-style proto-punk flavored with Weiss industrial excursions into metal percussion.
