Demo Submission

Yes, we do accept demos. We won’t lie to you, we don’t release a lot of records each year and we are very picky, so unless you already are talking to us, the odds aren’t all that great.

Jello Biafra is the final word on which bands we sign. He is very busy, but he generally tries to listen to most of the demos he receives.

If you would like to submit a demo; please send it to:

Alternative Tentacles Records P.O. Box 419092 San Francisco, CA 94141 attn. Jello Biafra

He does not accept mp3s. He will not go out and listen to your mp3s on the web. If you are interested in having Jello hear your music, you need to send him a CD, tape or vinyl.Sometimes Jello replies to people submitting demos; sometimes he doesn’t. There is no way for us to check on your “status”, so please don’t ask.

We cannot return your demos either, so please don’t send us your originals or ask us to send them back.

Thank You and Good Luck

MINISTRY Unveil Music Video For ‘Sabotage Is Sex’ Track Feat. Jello Biafra March 1st, 2022

Chicago, Illinois-born industrial metal band Ministry have released a musuc video for the track ‘Sabotage Is Sex’. Directed by Joel Smith (Mad Minute Productions) and featuring guest vocals from Jello Biafra (Dead Kennedys), the clip can be viewed below.

Speaking about the video, Ministry mainman Al Jourgensen said: “Jello and I have been friends and music collaborators for decades. I had no idea he’d never done a video before and I’m honoured to pop that creative cherry for him on ‘Sabotage Is Sex’. It’s crazy how tech savvy we’ve all gotten yet somehow it all seems very punk rock to shoot a video at home with just an iPhone. Who knows, maybe one day there will be a Lard video?”

Jello Biafra added: “My compliments to the chef!! Not like any other Ministry video either. It’s amazing what can be done dirt cheap in your bedroom, with some kool found footage and a few clever ideas. Two phones, two takes and my work is done. Fun! I knew there’d finally come a day where I could bust out those Fez hats kids stole from their parents, and threw at Dead Kennedys on our ’85 FrankenChrist tour.”

Ministry issued 15th full-length studio album Moral Hygiene on October 1st, 2021 through Nuclear Blast Records.

Al Jourgensen commented: “The good thing about literally taking a year off from any social activity or touring is that you really get to sit back and get an overview of things as they are happening, as opposed to being caught up in the moment. And what I saw with how we handled several public crises – from the pandemic to racial injustice to who we vote in to lead our country – is that times are changing, and society needed to change to get away from the idea that has permeated us of take care of yourself, fuck everything else. Now more than ever we need moral hygiene. It consumed me as I wrote this album. It’s not some pious term. It’s what we have to return to in order to function as the human species on this planet. And I’m proud to have had such great guests on this album to help cement that message like Billy Morrison, Jello Biafra and Arabian Prince.”

Moral Hygiene was recorded with engineer Michael Rozon at Scheisse Dog Studio, Jourgensen’s self-built home studio and creative lab.

All songs were written and performed by Al Jourgensen, with additional guest contributions from Billy Morrison (Billy Idol, Royal Machines), Cesar Soto (Man The Mute), John Bechdel (Killing Joke, Fear Factory), Roy Mayorga (Stone Sour / Soulfly / Nausea), Paul D’Amour (Tool / Feersum Ennjin), Arabian Prince (N.W.A.), Jello Biafra (Dead Kennedys) and sitar player Flash.

The track listing is as follows:

01. ‘Alert Level’ 02. ‘Good Trouble’ 03. ‘Sabotage Is Sex’ 04. ‘Disinformation’ 05. ‘Search And Destroy’ (The Stooges cover) 06. ‘Believe Me’ 07. ‘Broken System’ 08. ‘We Shall Resist’ 09. ‘Death Toll’ 10. ‘TV Song #6 (Right Around The Corner Mix)’

Music videos were filmed for the track ‘Disinformation’ and the band’s cover rendition of The Stooges’ 1973 hit ‘Search And Destroy’. In addition, official lyric video were created for the songs ‘Good Trouble’ and ‘Believe Me’. All four clips can also be viewed below.

Fourteenth studio record AmeriKKKant was released in March 2018 via Nuclear Blast.

Jello Biafra on his early days in punk in Colorado and his first encounter with Wax Trax

Audio By Carbonatix

Jello Biafra has made an unmistakable and enduring impact both punk and counterculture internationally. The iconoclast grew up in Boulder and moved to San Francisco in the late '70s, where he formed the Dead Kennedys and established the Alternative Tentacles imprint. As an outspoken critic of the more unsavory aspects of American culture and deleterious effect of moneyed interests on our political system and our daily lives, Biafra is all but a one-man anti-propaganda campaign with his social commentary and music.

One of his latest musical projects is Guantanamo School of Medicine, which released the 2013 album White People and the Damage Done . In advance of his appearance this Saturday, December 21, at Wax Trax , and his show at the Summit Music Hall on with Guantano School of Medicine on Tuesday, December 31 , we spoke with the witty and eloquent singer. In the first of a two part interview with Biafra, we discuss his early days of punk rock in Boulder and Denver and his first encounter with Wax Trax.

Westword: You did an introduction to the first Radio 1190 Local Shakedown compilation that Andrew Murphy put together and talked about living in Colorado in the 1970s and the relative lack of music going on. How did you get connected with The Ravers?

Jello Biafra: As far as I know, that was Colorado's first punk band and one of the very first anywhere. It was more rooted in '60s garage than it was in Ramones or Sex Pistols and still an important part of my life and many other people's. I'd been reading Mark Campbell's reviews in the Colorado Daily , and he was much more brash and up front about what he liked and didn't like.

So he was memorable instantly. Later, I found out he was the singer in the Ravers. They kind of centered around the old basement location on Broadway of Trade A Tape and Records in Boulder where I got a lot of my vinyl. They rehearsed in a back room and Rick Scott, one of the clerks there, was their manager.

Word got around, probably through Rick, that the Ramones were gonna come through Denver and play at Ebbets Field, opening for a major-label attemped flavor-of-the-month called Nite City. Ironically, it had to have Ray Manzarek and a pre-Blondie Nigel Harrison in it, among other people. It was an attempt at an instant FM rock hit, and the opening band was the Ramones.

So the handful of us who kind of knew who the Ramones were in the front row. Ebbets Field was a small, intimate place where everyone was expected to sit down. That's what people did at concerts; everybody was supposed to sit down. Bill Graham would throw you out for dancing in San Francisco, and so would Barry Fey and Feyline security.

You undoubtedly know Rocky Mountain Low ; Joseph Pope was one of the people in the front row with me. At the time, I didn't really take the Ramones that seriously. I knew they rocked, but I would sit around playing the Ramones with my friends, and we would giggle at the lack of guitar solos and these boneheaded lyrics like "beat on the brat with a baseball bat" and "now I wanna sniff some glue."

It had an impact enough to go down and see them. And out come these four, kinda degenerate looking guys in leather jackets -- which is something you didn't see very often then. One chord on Jonny's guitar, and we knew it was going to be a louder than anyone of us were prepared for. We braced ourselves and instead of being goofy, the Ramones were one of the most powerful experiences of my entire life.

We were three feet from the stage and forced to sit down, of course. Not only were they really, really good, but half the fun was turning around and watching the Ebbets Field, country-rock glitterati, the guys with the neatly trimmed beards, Kenny Loggins-feathered hair and corduroy jackets, with patches on the elbows, as well as the cocaine cowboys and their women, with their 1920s suits with flowers, because that's what Joni Mitchell was wearing at the time -- they looked horrified. They had nowhere to go. Because Ebbets Field was so small, you couldn't go hang out in the lobby because there wasn't one. They just had to endure the Ramones.

It never would have occurred to me to try to go back stage and talk to the band. I didn't know you could talk to rock bands. I was a wide-eyed teenager used to going to see arena rock at the Denver Coliseum or McNichols. At any rate, Joseph came back at one point and said, "Oh yeah, I was just back talking to The Ramones." "What?! You can talk to the Ramones?"

That was the punk rock thing -- we're all from the same place. And that was the beauty of the live shows, too -- my god, they're so powerful, they're so simple, anyone could do this. Shit, I could do this. Maybe I should. And that's how it affected a lot of people in the room. The Ramones stayed an extra night and Ebbets Field let them headline, and the Ravers were going to open the show. Luckily, The Ravers needed what was then called "roadies." So I me, Joe, Sam Spinner, and, I think, John Trujillo, were anointed "the roadies" on the spot.

Suddenly I thought, "All you people who thought I was a loser in school, now I'm somebody. I'm a roadie for the Ravers!" That meant many good times at other Ravers shows like playing with the Nerves and the big one playing on the top floor of the ex-elementary school at 9th and Arapahoe. Which was Driver which became The Nightflames and the Front.

Steve Knutson of the Front was one of the people that saw that Ramones show that resulted in the long run in Dead Kennedys, the Wax Trax label, Angst, the SST band that Joseph came from. And Don Fleming, from Gumball Velvet Monkey, was there while he was stationed at Lowery Air Force Base -- the first time I ever heard "I Got a Right" was his record in his room on base, and I got lost driving around on base trying to get home.

Al Jourgensen claims he was there, but no one knew him at the time. And of course the Wax Trax mavens, Dannie Flesher and Jim Nash. They owned the Denver store until they sold it to Duane Davis and Dave Stidman and relocated their Wax Trax to Chicago and never looked back.

Ironically, at the original Wax Trax store on Ogden, where I went to for the first time and saw a John Denver greatest hits record cover on the front door with nails through his eyes and blood dripping down -- I knew I had found a home. At the time, Jim gave me shit for buying synthesizer records like the early Tangerine Dream stuff and things like that. He never heard the end of it later when he not only put out electronic records on the Wax Trax label, but disco, no less. My, how times do change.

But then the fateful decision came when the Ravers were moving to New York, and eventually changed their name to the Nails, and I found out toward the end that only one roadie could go with, and it wasn't going to be me. I was half-bummed and half-relieved at the same time. I'm not sure I was ready to live on my own -- especially in New York, where I'd never been. And I was set to go to school in the fall, and bam wound up going to New York with the Ravers instead. We all ended up back in Colorado until, one by one, we started moving out west to California instead.
