Part of a collection of oversized badges which are intended to be wall hung, the designs are taken from actual pins from the 1970s and 1980s which were collected by the self-taught British artist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eAge marks have been added to some of the designs to make the badges look more authentic. Colour disfiguration and rust marks add to the look of badges that have been well loved and well worn for many years.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Artwork\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDead Kennedys are an American punk rock band that formed in San Francisco, California, in 1978. The band was one of the defining bands of the American punk scene during the band's initial eight-year run.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe band's lineup initially consisted of lead guitarist East Bay Ray, bassist Klaus Flouride, lead vocalist Jello Biafra, drummer Ted and rhythm guitarist 6025; 6025 left in 1979, and Ted left the following year after the band recorded their acclaimed first album \u003cem\u003eFresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables\u003c\/em\u003e (1980). The band's longest-serving drummer was D. H. Peligro, who replaced Ted in 1981 and remained until his death in 2022. Dead Kennedys recorded the EP \u003cem\u003eIn God We Trust Inc. \u003c\/em\u003e(1981), followed by three more studio albums, \u003cem\u003ePlastic Surgery Disasters\u003c\/em\u003e (1982), \u003cem\u003eFrankenchrist \u003c\/em\u003e(1985), and \u003cem\u003eBedtime for Democracy \u003c\/em\u003e(1986), the latter of which was recorded and released shortly after announcing their breakup in January 1986. Most of the band's recordings were released on Alternative Tentacles, an independent record label founded by Biafra and East Bay Ray.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFollowing Dead Kennedys' dissolution, Biafra continued to run Alternative Tentacles, and went on to collaborate and record with other artists, including D.O.A., NoMeansNo and his own bands Lard and the Guantanamo School of Medicine, as well as releasing several spoken word performances. In 2000 (upheld on appeal in 2003), Biafra lost an acrimonious legal case initiated by his former Dead Kennedys bandmates over songwriting credits and unpaid royalties. In 2001, the band re-formed without Biafra; various singers have since been recruited for vocal duties. Although Dead Kennedys have continued to perform over the years, they have not released any more studio albums since \u003cem\u003eBedtime for Democracy\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDead Kennedys' lyrics were usually political in nature, satirising political figures and authority in general, as well as popular culture and even the punk movement itself. During their initial incarnation between 1978 and 1986, they attracted considerable controversy for their provocative lyrics and artwork. Several stores refused to stock their recordings, provoking debate about censorship in rock music; in the mid-1980s, vocalist and primary lyricist Jello Biafra became an active campaigner against the Parents Music Resource Center (PMRC). This culminated in an obscenity trial between 1985 and 1986, which resulted in a hung jury and also hastened the band's demise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Artist\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eTony Dennis paints and creates oversized badges, selling them in galleries in the UK, Europe and the United States.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eIn 2018, Tony worked with French graffiti artist Invader and produced 10 giant pin badges for his LA exhibition\u003ci\u003e Into the White Cube\u003c\/i\u003e.
