About Jello Biafra
Artist Biography
A firebrand of America's West Coast punk rock scene, Jello Biafra first made a name for himself as the lead singer with the Dead Kennedys, the band that bridged the gap between first-era punk and hardcore, and he divided his time between music, spoken word performing, and activism after they broke up. Possessing a distinctive high-pitched voice, a powerfully dramatic delivery, and a fearless willingness to attack any issue with words, Biafra becomes the spotlight figure no matter who he collaborates with, including D.O.A., Mojo Nixon, the Melvins, and NoMeansNo. One of his first and best (if dated) spoken word efforts is 1987's No More Cocoons; 1990's Last Scream of the Missing Neighbors, with D.O.A., is a highlight among his collaborative albums, and 2009's The Audacity of Hype introduced his first proper band since the breakup of the Dead Kennedys, the Guantanamo School of Medicine.
