Dead Kennedys Ringtones

About Dead KennedysA pioneering San Francisco punk band that gained a massive cult following in the 80s, and recently reformed for the first 8 years of the 21st century, Dead Kennedys are an iconic name in hardcore and surf punk. The band's staunchy left wing, snide point of view on America connected with the rebelling youth of their time, especially in songs like Holiday in Cambodia (on the Khmer Rouge regime). The name was particularly provocative at the time (referring to the political Kennedy family), and so Dead Kennedys often played under pseudonyms early in their career. Controversy abound, with artwork depicting Christ in dubious positions, and provocative song titles like Nazi Punks, F*ck Off. This eventually led to an obscenity trial in California, which ended with a hung jury. Further lawsuits have followed over payment of royalties and other commercial issues. True, rebellious punk rockers, then!
