Dead Kennedys

In January 1984, when the live recording of "Religious Vomit" was captured, Dead Kennedys were at a pivotal stage in their career, just after the release of their third studio album, "Plastic Surgery Disasters." Released in 1982, this album showcased their distinctive punk sound and socially charged lyrics, further establishing their reputation in the punk rock scene. The band's live performances during this period were known for their high energy and an intense political stance, reflective of the band's ethos. "Religious Vomit," a track from their second studio album "In God We Trust, Inc.," exemplifies their provocative take on religion and authority. The live recording reflects not just the band's musical prowess, but also their ability to engage audiences in critical discourse, solidifying their legacy as influential figures in punk history. Their performances often featured a defiant attitude, which resonated with fans and challenged societal norms.
