Mutiny on the Bay was put together and released after a lengthy lawsuit, which resulted in the rights to the Dead Kennedys' catalog being transferred from lead singer/songwriter Jello Biafra's record label, Alternative Tentacles to the other three members of the band following Biafra's conviction on civil fraud and other charges.[1] The album’s title alludes to the wresting of these rights (the “mutiny”) and the band’s home (The San Francisco Bay Area) with a nod to the Royal Navy’s famed Mutiny on the Bounty that served as the basis for numerous novels and films. The album’s quality has been criticized by singer Jello Biafra.
