Product description

Dead Kennedys' Bedtime For Democracy is a scathing punk masterpiece that embodies the spirit of rebellion and social critique. Released on 19 November 1986 via GoldState Music, this 48-minute album is a high-energy onslaught of hardcore punk, skate punk, and proto-punk sounds that will leave you breathless.

With a diverse tracklist featuring 21 songs, including 'Take This Job and Shove It', 'Rambozo the Clown', and 'Chickenshit Conformist', Dead Kennedys deliver a relentless barrage of witty lyrics, catchy hooks, and driving rhythms. From the opening notes, it's clear that Bedtime For Democracy is an unapologetic assault on the status quo, tackling themes of conformity, consumerism, and social hypocrisy with their signature blend of humour and outrage.

Throughout the album, Dead Kennedys' unique blend of punk genres creates a dynamic and unpredictable listening experience, with each song offering a fresh perspective on the band's anti-establishment ethos. With Bedtime For Democracy, Dead Kennedys cement their position as one of the most influential and innovative punk bands of their era, and this album remains a powerful testament to their enduring legacy.

This 2023 Reissue Remastered LP is pressed on White vinyl.

  • Mislabeled CD Version

    4 out of 5 stars
    YosqoiohTdoddSeptember 5, 2024United States🇺🇸

    This particular version seems to be a manufacturing mistake. Both the cover and the CD are labeled with 'Betime for Democracy'. But, the CD itself contains the tracks from the two earlier albums: 'Plastic Surgery Disasters' and 'In God We Trust Inc.'

  • Limited Edition Sticker Misunderstanding

    5 out of 5 stars
    QJWZIMMarch 20, 2024United States🇺🇸

    The one I got had that hype sticker saying “limited edition sticker,” but there wasn’t any extra sticker inside. I reckon the “sticker” they mentioned was just the hype sticker itself. It felt like a little “gotcha,” and for a band that’s all about anti-capitalist vibes, I kinda dig it. Though, I could be reading too much into it. Maybe some versions actually come with a sticker. I was kinda hoping for a DK logo sticker or something, haha. Not that it’s a big deal. The CD’s still awesome!

About Dead Kennedys

The Dead Kennedys, hailing from San Francisco, are a pioneering force in the punk rock scene, forming in 1978 and quickly becoming one of the most influential and politically charged bands of the late '70s and early '80s. Known for their raw, energetic sound and unapologetic lyrics, the band blended hardcore punk with revolutionary politics, creating a powerful and enduring legacy. Originally a quintet featuring Jello Biafra on vocals, East Bay Ray on guitar, 6025 on guitar, Klaus Fluoride on bass, and Ted (Bruce Slesinger) on drums, the Dead Kennedys' music is not just an album but a statement, a call to action, and a testament to their enduring influence on the punk and hardcore genres. Their debut album, "Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables," remains a seminal work in the punk canon, showcasing their unique blend of musical prowess and political activism. With a sound that spans punk, hardcore punk, skate punk, and proto-punk, the Dead Kennedys continue to inspire and influence new generations of musicians and fans alike.
