Album cover

Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables is the debut album by Dead Kennedys. It was released in 1980 through Alternative Tentacles Records, and Cherry Red Records in the UK. The best known album by the Dead Kennedys, Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables has become a major staple of the L.A. punk community and the starting point for Los Angeles political punk. Although now it is somewhat dated, Jello Biafra's strong leftist statements on songs such as Kill The Poor, which has now become a punk classic, launched him and the Dead Kennedys into the political arena.
