Dead Kennedys' songs mix the deliberately shocking lyrics of punk with a humorous, acerbic, satirical, and sarcastic left-wing commentary on current social and political issues.

4 Dead

.... sounds like the end of the earth.... tastes like chicken. "Ultra-violenthardcore/metal band 4DEAD are Canberran quintet with enough firepower to topple Parliament House. Violent and pummelling, they're the musical equivalent of Ben Kingsley in Sexy Beast. Banned from most venues in the nation's capitol, thanks to their chugg hardcore and mosh-metal sound (not to mention the insanity it can often insight), 4DEAD are a band who put their bodies on the line every time they take the stage, delivering a dangerous and theatrical show where anything can (and has been known to) happen.

Starvation

#1 Starvation was a hardcore punk band from Požega, Croatia, active trough the 2000's, they participated in the cult "Crust is dead" 4-way split tape with Dislike, Fight Back and Apatdridi. they also played a large number of shows #2 Starvation is some of the bleakest music to come from the US East Coast in recent times. Maybe it's being surrounded constantly by drooling yuppies or self-conscious, ironic hipsters that created the need for Starvation. Whatever it is, there's something in the air in Connecticut that makes all this doom and gloom as natural as taking a big honking dump.
