Free Music Notes for Audacity of Hype

Free Music Review: Gaslight!
Hit: 5 Stars

Jello Biafra has supplemented his intriguing spoken word career with a variety of musical projects, but this one should be given the time to blossom on stage and in the studio.

The hardcore attack from guitarists Ralph Spight and Kimo Ball, drummer Jon Weiss and bassist Ralph Spight provide Biafra with the best venue since the one-off "supergroup" No WTO Combo to hammer away with pointed lyrics on the dysfunctional and corrupt political scene. It is no surprise that two of the tracks - "New Feudalism," "Electronic Plantation" - were penned for the No WTO Combo, with live versions released in 2000. The real fun and games inside The Beltway are uncovered on "The Terror of Tinytown" and "Clean As a Thistle." The dungeons of the prison-industrial complex ("Three Strikes") and the quest for everything under the sun ("Strength Thru Shopping") - while slapping down plastic cards in the air-conditioned mega-centers of pop culturism - seize the spotlight on the second half of the album. The anthem for a new century - "I Won't Give Up" - has a gap of around seven minutes after its conclusion for the sonic cliff notes of the proceedings.

The package is complete through the album/CD art and mini-poster that includes the song lyrics. Meet the new boss, indeed.

Audacity of Hype Poster

2009 album from the former Dead Kennedys frontman. The Audacity of Hype was produced by Biafra and engineered by Hip Hop producer and longtime co-conspirator Matt Kelley (Hieroglyphics, The Coup, Digital Underground, Victims Family) at Prairie Sun Recording in Cotati, CA, and San Francisco's Hyde Street Studios. The band's twin guitar attack retains some of the Space-Punk overtones and spy-music-on-meth chaos of The Dead Kennedys while adding a healthy dose of Detroit-style Proto-Punk flavored with Weiss' industrial excursions into metal percussion. Nine tracks.
