Jello Biafra & the Guantanamo School of Medicine New Album: More Details Emerging


Just  a few days ago, I mentioned how Jello Biafra, the former frontman for the legendary Dead Kennedys, had announced that he and his latest band, the Guantanamo School of Medicine, will be working on a brand new album. It will be the band’s first album release since 2013, when they released “White People and the Damage Done.”

They made the announcement on a Punk Rock Bowling video, which it seemed appropriate to share here, in case anyone wants to see it.
    
Well, there are new details emerging. At the time, the dates for the album release were yet to be announced. And while no specific dates have been announced just yet, we now know that we may hear the first tracks as soon as July, and that the album is slated to be released sometime in the autumn. The new album will likely be called “Tea Party Revenge Porn”.              


Still, this is exciting news for any Jello fans out there. So let’s all stay tuned for further details!

Also, I thought it might be good to add a link to another article about Jello Biafra dating back a few years ago, to just a couple of months following the election win of Donald Trump ino the White House in 2016, but a few weeks before he was about to officially take the oath to become the active president. This article expands on Jello’s ideas on how to resist Trump and his loyal legion of buffoons, as well as punk’s relevance (he clearly believes punk is still relevant, or at least that it can still be relevant):
