First Time Listening to Dead Kennedys - Police Truck (Reaction)

Whole new vibe of punk, would love to get some more recommends to the genre.

This song was inspired by an incident in Oakland in the late ‘70s in which two police officers were caught drinking on the job, harassing drunks, and raping prostitutes while also functioning as a blanket attack on police corruption and brutality. Jello Biafra also worked with other bands such as Ministry, D.O.A., and Mojo Nixon. He has a new band called The Guantamano School of Medicine.

Growing up my Dad was a cop and would tell stories he thought were hilarious, they were disturbing and sometimes criminal. I LOVE this song, this band, and as always ACAB.😂

One of my fave DK songs. Glad I got to see them back in June of 1983 in NYC.

Best thing about Dead Kennedys is they're ingobernable.

I first got into the DKs back in 1981 when I was 15. To me, it is almost scary how still to this day the lyrics of their songs not only still apply but even more so now.

[@Thelikebutton123]

Well, that was a nice wholesome song 😂 Good grief, wow, just wow, no filter.
