Heartbreaking, savagely funny--and a middle finger to modern pieties--Dead Kennedys is a book of dissent. It's the story of John Kennedy, 17-year-old member of the famous Kennedy family, who after a shattering tragedy goes on a reckless binge through Washington DC he may not survive. In his third novel, Scott Reardon presents a modern outcast--unfiltered, broken by life and at the point of no return.

The Dead Kennedys roared to life in the late 1970s: their left-wing political stance, shock tactics, and messages of rebellion against corruption stirred everybody up, including Tipper Gore and her pack of conservative music-banning buddies. This book focuses on the band from its conception through its breakup in the mid-1980s, and includes reproductions of flyers, promo shots, snippets of interviews, lyrics, and rare photos. Lead singer Jello Biafra's candidacy in the 1979 San Francisco mayoral race is also entertainingly detailed.

Dead Kennedys routinely top both critic and fan polls as the greatest punk band of their generation. Their debut full-length, Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables, in particular, is regularly voted among the top albums in the genre. Fresh Fruit offered a perfect hybrid of humor and polemic strapped to a musical chassis that was as tetchy and inventive as Jello Biafra’s withering broadsides. Those lyrics, cruel in their precision, were revelatory. But it wouldn’t have worked if the underlying sonics were not such an uproarious rush, the paraffin to Biafra’s naked flame. Dead Kennedys’ continuing influence is an extraordinary achievement for a band that had practically zero radio play and only released records on independent labels. They not only existed outside of the mainstream but were, as V. Vale of Search and Destroy noted, the first band of their stature to turn on and attack the music industry itself. The DKs set so much in motion. They were integral to the formulation of an alternative network that allowed bands on the first rung of the ladder to tour outside of their own backyard. They were instrumental in supporting the concept of all-ages shows and spurned the advances of corporate rock promoters and industry lapdogs. They legitimized the notion of an American punk band touring internationally while disseminating the true horror of their native country’s foreign policies, effectively serving as anti-ambassadors on their travels. The book uses dozens of first-hand interviews, photos, and original artwork to offer a new perspective on a group who would become mired in controversy almost from the get-go. It applauds the band’s key role in transforming punk rhetoric, both polemical and musical, into something genuinely threatening—and enormously funny. The author offers context in terms of both the global and local trajectory of punk and, while not flinching from the wildly differing takes individual band members have on the evolution of the band, attempts to be celebratory—if not uncritical.

In 1978, San Francisco, a city that has seen more than its share of trauma, plunged from a summer of political tension into an autumn cascade of malevolence that so eluded human comprehension it seemed almost demonic. The battles over property taxes and a ballot initiative calling for a ban on homosexuals teaching in public schools gave way to the madness of the Jonestown massacre and the murders of Mayor George Moscone and city supervisor Harvey Milk at the hands of their former colleague, Dan White. In the year that followed this season of insanity, it made sense that a band called Dead Kennedys played Mabuhay Gardens in North Beach, referring to Governor Jerry Brown as a "zen fascist," calling for landlords to be lynched and yuppie gentrifiers to be sent to Cambodia to work for "a bowl of rice a day," critiquing government welfare and defense policies, and, at a time when each week seemed to bring news of a new serial killer or child abduction, commenting on dead and dying children. But it made sense only (or primarily) to those who were there, to those who experienced the heyday of "the Mab." Most histories of the 1970s and 1980s ignore youth politics and subcultures. Drawing on Bay Area zines as well as new interviews with the band and many key figures from the early San Francisco punk scene, Michael Stewart Foley corrects that failing by treating Dead Kennedys' first record, Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables, as a critical historical document, one that not only qualified as political expression but, whether experienced on vinyl or from the stage of "the Mab," stimulated emotions and ideals that were, if you can believe it, utopian.

An oral history of the modern punk-revival?s West Coast Birthplace Outside of New York and London, California?s Bay Area claims the oldest continuous punk-rock scene in the world. Gimme Something Better brings this outrageous and influential punk scene to life, from the notorious final performance of the Sex Pistols, to Jello Biafra?s bid for mayor, the rise of Maximum RocknRoll magazine, and the East Bay pop-punk sound that sold millions around the globe. Throngs of punks, including members of the Dead Kennedys, Avengers, Flipper, MDC, Green Day, Rancid, NOFX, and AFI, tell their own stories in this definitive account, from the innovative art-damage of San Francisco?s Fab Mab in North Beach, to the still vibrant all-ages DIY ethos of Berkeley?s Gilman Street. Compiled by longtime Bay Area journalists Jack Boulware and Silke Tudor, Gimme Something Better chronicles more than two decades of punk music, progressive politics, social consciousness, and divine decadence, told by the people who made it happen.

In San Francisco Year Zero, San Francisco native Lincoln Mitchell deftly weaves together the personal and the political, tracing the city's current state back to three key events that all occurred in 1978: the assassination of George Moscone and Harvey Milk occurring fewer than two weeks after the massacre of Peoples Temple members in Jonestown, Guyana, the explosion of the city's punk rock scene, and a breakthrough season for the San Francisco Giants.

Dead Kennedys réunissait parfaitement les critiques de la presse et les votes des fans le consacrant plus grand groupe punk de sa génération. Leur premier album, Fresh Fruit For Rotting Vegetables, est régulièrement cité parmi les disques essentiels du genre. Fresh Fruit proposait un mélange parfait d'humour et de polémiques attachés à un châssis musical aussi irritant et inventif que les diatribes cinglantes de Biafra. Ces paroles, cruelles dans leur précision, étaient une révélation. Mais ça n'aurait pas marché si la sonorité sous-jacente n'avait pas été d'une telle confusion, atténuant la flamme corrosive de Biafra. Leur inaltérable influence représente une réussite extraordinaire pour un groupe qui ne passait pratiquement pas en radio et ne sortit de disques que chez des labels indépendants. Non seulement existèrent-ils en dehors du courant dominant, mais ils furent également le premier groupe de cette ampleur à s'en prendre à l'industrie du disque et à l'attaquer. DKs fut à l'origine de tant de choses. Ils firent partie intégrante du réseau américain alternatif mettant aux groupes le pied à l'étrier, leur permettant de se produire ailleurs que dans leur petit jardin. Ils jouèrent un rôle en soutenant le concept de concerts intergénérationnels et en rejetant les avances des promoteurs de rock corporatiste et des toutous de l'industrie du disque. Ils légitimèrent la notion de groupe punk américain travaillant avec succès à l'étranger tout en racontant les horreurs de la politique étrangère de leur pays natal - servant de fait, dans leurs tournées, d'anti-ambassadeurs. Cet ouvrage regroupe des dizaines d'interviews à la source, dont certaines avec les cinq membres fondateurs, des photos et des oeuvres originales, proposant un nouveau regard sur une formation au coeur de la controverse dès ses débuts. Le groupe joua un rôle prépondérant dans la rhétorique punk, la transformant, tant sur le plan polémique que musical, en un univers profondément menaçant - et extrêmement drôle. L'auteur se propose de décrire les débuts de Dead Kennedys au sein de la trajectoire locale et globale du punk ; s'appliquant à retranscrire les points de vue différents des membres de DKs sur leur évolution, il se montre un fan passionné - ne rechignant pas à une certaine subjectivité.
