Which punk band released 'Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables'?

The punk band that released Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables is Dead Kennedys.

Released in 1980, Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables was the debut studio album by the San Francisco punk band Dead Kennedys. It was recorded in May and June 1980 at Möbius Music in San Francisco and first issued in the United Kingdom through Cherry Red Records before receiving U.S. releases through I.R.S. and Alternative Tentacles.

The album helped establish the band’s blend of aggressive punk, sharp political satire, and unconventional arrangements. Songs such as “Holiday in Cambodia,” “California Über Alles,” and “Police Truck” became enduring entries in the American punk canon. Jello Biafra handled lead vocals, with East Bay Ray on guitar and Klaus Flouride on bass.

Listeners sometimes confuse the album with later Dead Kennedys releases such as In God We Trust, Inc. or Plastic Surgery Disasters. Fresh Fruit for Rotting Vegetables is specifically the band’s first full-length studio album, not an EP or compilation.
