Shortly after Black Flag debuted in Los Angeles, [[Dead Kennedys]] were formed in San Francisco. While the band's early releases were played in a style closer to traditional punk rock, ''[[In God We Trust, Inc.]]'' (1981) marked a shift into hardcore. Similar to Black Flag and Youth Brigade, Dead Kennedys released their albums on their own label, which in DK's case was [[Alternative Tentacles]]. The scene was helped in particular by the San Francisco club [[Mabuhay Gardens]], whose promoter, [[Dirk Dirksen]], became known as "The Pope of Punk".<ref>{{cite news | url=https://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/dirk-dirksen-pope-of-punk-amused-insulted-2466523.php | work=The San Francisco Chronicle | title=KEN GARCIA – S.F.
