The new Jellow Biafra album is available free to download from Amazon. And it's surprisingly heavy/crunchy punk with the same pissed off vocals and lyrics you'd expect from Biafra, that guy hasn't slowed down at all in his 40s: Download from Amazon for free here.

HEY JELLO...SUE ME YOU PENNY STEALING NUT JOB!
thanks i will take this release...FOR FREE
Giving away your album for free isn't really a sign of money grubbing. And it was the other members of the Dead Kennedies that were the litigators, suing Biafra. I have a hard time being pissed at Biafra for sinking some of the profits from DK record sales back into releasing more bands on Alt Tentacles, he put out a ton of good records that probably wouldn't have seen the light of day otherwise. And he lost their lawsuit against him, paid them $200,000 and they re-released the records on another label and reformed the band with a new lead singer, so who exactly is the money grubber?
I lost respect for Carlos Cadona when he got all Christian and then in 1993 called the cops to a Gilman show because he couldn't handle the sexual antics of the singer from the Insaints on stage. A Dead Kennedy calling the cops to a punk club!?! And the current "Dead Kennedys" has only one original member, everyone else left East Bay Ray holding the bag. I kinda find it hard to side with any of them, and honestly, their business agreement and lawsuit just ain't any of our business in my opinion. Comparing Biafra to the US Government is laughable.

Tired of staring up a superstars arse,
I've got an arse and crap and a name"
read up and wipe that brown stuff off your nose

Oh, I know the story, and I know the version told by the other members. But I, like most people, think the other members reforming the Dead Kennedys with Brandon Cruise was one of the worst travesties in punk rock, so it's hard to side with them because of that alone. Biafra was that band for me and all the stuff he's done since then has been way better and more important than anything the other members have done. The new Dead Kennedys is a joke. And now that it's just East Bay Ray left it's even more ridiculous.
