The Audacity Of Hype by Jello -And The Guantanamo School Of Medici Biafra, released 22 October 2009.
This version of The Audacity Of Hype comes as a 1xCD. - ... & THE GUANTANAMO SCHOOL OF MEDICINE
2009 album from the former Dead Kennedys front man. The Audacity of Hype was produced by Biafra and engineered by Hip Hop producer and longtime co-conspirator Matt Kelley (Hieroglyphics, the Coup, Digital Underground, Victims Family) at Prairie Sun Recording in Cotati, CA, and San Francisco's Hyde Street Studios. The band's twin guitar attack retains some of the Space-Punk overtones and spy-music-on-meth chaos of the Dead Kennedys while adding a healthy dose of Detroit-style Proto-Punk flavored with Weiss' industrial excursions into metal percussion. Nine tracks.

Musically, this album is surprisingly solid. Career provocateur Jello Biafra has assembled a hell of a band behind him, including Faith No More bassis...
