Description:

Dead Kennedys: Klaus Flouride (vocals, bass guitar); D.H. Peligro (vocals, drums); Jello Biafra (vocals); East Bay Ray (guitar); Ted (drums).
Legendary San Francisco punks the Dead Kennedys are considered one of the genre`s premier trailblazers. Not only did they make intelligent, sarcastic, deeply funny political songs that skewered 1980s American society, they also built a successful model for independently touring and recording bands to be followed throughout the decade. MILKING THE SACRED COW is yet another career retrospective, similar to 1987`s landmark collection GIVE ME CONVENIENCE OR GIVE ME DEATH, but with several different tracks. On the opener "California ?ber Alles" as well as other standout tracks like "Hollywood in Cambodia" and "Kill the Poor," the band`s recognizable mix of surf-influenced twang, hardcore drumming, and Jello Biafra`s madman vibrato take the listener on a tour of the underbelly of Reagan`s "Morning in America." With a seething anger barely masked with a sardonic wink, this is potent, hall-of-fame stuff from some true punk-rock greats.
