Jello Biafra & the Guantanamo School of Medicine - Audacity of Hype

The godfather of punk protest is back and louder than ever. The Audacity of Hype marks Jello Biafra’s full-force return to the mic with his own band after years of incendiary collaborations. This debut from Jello Biafra & the Guantanamo School of Medicine is a searing slab of political punk mayhem that pulls zero punches.

From the ferocious “The Terror of Tiny Town” to the industrial-charged chaos of “Electronic Plantation,” this record revives the righteous fury that fueled Dead Kennedys, now laced with Detroit proto-punk grit and metal-spiked percussion. “Clean as a Thistle” skewers hypocrites with gleeful spite, while “I Won’t Give Up” closes the album with a rally cry straight from the heart of grassroots resistance.

Produced with long-time co-conspirator Matt Kelley, The Audacity of Hype is both a middle finger and a manifesto. It's raw, relentless, and more relevant than ever—Jello’s venomous voice hasn't aged a day, and this band was built to bring the riot.
