Dead Kennedys: Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables, The Early Years

Description

Dead Kennedys routinely top both critic and fan polls as the greatest punk band of their generation. Their debut, Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables, in particular, is regularly voted among the top albums in the genre. 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.
