About Jello Biafra

Jello Biafra, born Eric Reed Boucher in 1958, is an American punk rock musician and spoken word artist, best known as the lead singer and songwriter for the Dead Kennedys. Biafra has also pursued a solo career and is known for his satirical and politically charged lyrics. He founded the independent record label Alternative Tentacles in 1979, further amplifying his influence in the punk scene.

Biafra's lyrics often delve into the mechanisms of elite control, societal manipulation, and the cultivation of apathy among the masses. His work consistently challenges authority and encourages critical thinking, making him a significant figure in punk's political discourse. Recent projects continue to explore these themes with a sharp, uncompromising edge.
