Editorial Reviews
2009 album from the former Dead Kennedys frontman. 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) at Prairie Sun Recording in Cotati, CA, and San Francisco's Hyde Street Studios. The band's 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. Nine tracks.

This review is from: Audacity of Hype (Audio CD)
From one DK fan to all the other DK fans, Audacity of Hype will NOT disappoint!Hype picks up right where Bedtime for Democracy left off 23 years ago. The production value is superb! The double axe attack, while unexpected, works great! The bass and drums provide a hard edge to the rhythm. Its very obvious that Guantanamo tries to capture some of the DK sound, it works. Gould, Spight, Weiss, Ball capture the genre while leaving there own signature. I like it. Biafra's vocals and prose are on par with DK's Bedtime and Frankenchrist albums. The politicizing is not as mature as his spoken word albums, but neither were the DK albums. Besides, you should already know Biafra's social stance. The album art, poster insert and lyric collage brought back memories. I hope a new generation will discover this gem, and its socially relevant message.

Definitely the best release of 2009. With a twin guitar attack Jello Biafra and the Guantanamo School of Medicine sounds lile DK's on meth. Billy Gould recorded it but has been replaced by Andrew Weiss (Rollins Band) due to his return to Faith No More. This CD is highly recommended!!!
