Biafra had earlier been brought to trial on charges of “distributing harmful matter to minors” in an incident involving the 1985 Dead Kennedys’ album Frankenchrist, which featured an insert of H R Giger’s Penis Landscape and a parody sticker on the front cover reading:</p> <blockquote> <p>“WARNING: The inside fold out to this record cover is a work of art by H.R. Giger that some people may find shocking, repulsive or offensive.
