Jello Biafra is best known as the creator and former vocalist of legendary punk rock band Dead Kennedys. Jello left the band after a lawsuit brought on by fellow band mate East Bay Ray under the grounds that he was interfering with their right to profit by not only limiting the release of their albums, but also by refusing to let Levi Jeans use "Holiday In Cambodia" for a commercial. Jello's decision was because Levi's was known at the time for using sweatshop labor, and due to the nature of his lyrics, and his personal political philosophy, he wasn't about to let them use his music to promote their company. After leaving Dead Kennedys, Jello joined forces with acts such as Mojo Nixon (Dead Milkmen), D.O.A., NoMeansNo, 1000 Homo DJ's, Ministry, and Cage to name a few. Jello is also a spoken word artist, and owner of punk rock label Alternative Tentacles. As for the Melvins, they're known for their strange ambient style progressive rock music. This is Jello's second album with the Melvins, and they work well together. I'm hoping for a third album after hearing this masterpiece.
