DEAD KENNEDYS – What Shall I Wear Tonight – The 1978 Demos LP

You can feel the energy emanating from these rare, almost-lost recordings of heroic San Francisco, USA Punks the DEAD KENNEDYS. Laid down in 1978, the same year the band got together, it´s hard to work out what´s more remarkable – the rabid vibe itself, or the fact that rabid vibe seemed to come so effortlessly and naturally once the founding members joined forces. It´s almost like it was meant to be. Across sixteen tracks that vitality is laid bare in all its ferocious glory. And while it´s great to hear the origin stories behind some of the DK’s biggest songs – „Kill The Poor“, „Holiday In Cambodia“, „Forward to Death“ – it´s perhaps more interesting getting to grips with the initial ideas that didn´t come to fruition in the end. Either way, basking in the glory of an outfit with protest and anti-establishment attitude bleeding from every orifice still feels fantastic.
