Dead Kennedys speak out against Heineken

Dead Kennedys have dished out some verbals against Heineken.

The band known as ‘one of the best live acts in the world ever’ here at crossfire are famous for their incredible cover versions and have performed outstanding versions of Debaser by the Pixies, Nirvana tracks and plenty of others over the years.
