Plastic Surgery Disasters / In God We Trust Inc Review

Filed under: Punk News — Tags: — Jackyl @ 8:14 pm

Band: Dead Kennedys

Album: Plastic Surgery Disasters / In God We Trust Inc.

Rating: 4/5

If you only buy one Dead Kennedys album, it’s gotta be ‘Plastic Surgery Disasters‘, which captured this legendary San Francisco punk band at the top of their game. It now includes ‘In God We Trust, Inc.’, a short collection of DK gems, making it nearly impossible to pack more energy onto a single CD. Right out of the gate, this album is raw, explosive, and relentlessly confrontational. The band’s unmistakable sound is as “in your face” as Jello Biafra’s scathing lyrics, which damn American society in hilarious fashion. No one is spared, as each song takes aim and fires away at one type of fraud or another. The government, religion, materialism, violence, cops, doctors, the rich, elitists, racists, homophobes, posers, jocks, science, and politicians- all face the firing squad of Biafra’s scorn.

Somewhere in the fray, there’s a bullet or two aimed at every one of us, and when we’re hit, it’s just as easy to laugh at ourselves. The lyrics are cynical and often sarcastic, but extremely smart and at times, even prophetic. They’re as relevant today as they were then- if not more so. Musically, Plastic Surgery Disasters is, in my opinion, DK’s most adventurous and technically brilliant work. It’s also their most “refined” album, production-wise, but it stops well short of commercial glossiness. It’s a true punk classic…

Tim Armstrong of the legendary punk rock group RANCID, has quite an art gallery of tattoos sprawled all over his body.

Left Arm Tattoos: Spiderweb, skull bracelet, Hellcat logo, large skull.

Right Arm Tattoos: Rose and large skull which now covers his ex wife’s name “Brody”.

P U N X tattooed on his knuckles , along with a spider on his neck and “U.S THUGS” on his belly.

Tim Armstrong has also had quite a bit inked on the top of his head, which looks to be a giant spider web with a large skull and jester face, possibly more.
