D.O.A. 25th Anniversary

D.O.A., Canada's most influential punk rock band, is beginning the celebration of their 25th Anniversary.
Having influenced a couple of generations of punks and musicians and made a big impact in underground "people power" politics, D.O.A. will mark the occasion in a couple of special ways.

Sudden Death Records [Canada's punk godfather Joey Shithead Keithley's own record label] will release the definitive D.O.A. album "War and Peace" A 25 track compilation of D.O.A.'s greatest recorded moments. War and Peace starts at the roots of "Dicso Sucks", "The Enemy" and "Liar For Hire" right through to their modern blitzkrieg sound of "Dead Men Tell No Tales" and "Just Say No To The WTO".

D.O.A. will blast through live shows with their new rock solid lineup of Joey, The Great Baldini on drums and new bassist Damned Dan Yaremko [ Econoline Crush, Bif Naked].There will be a Cross Canada tour this fall and the rest of the world next year.

This fall, Shithead's 1st book "I Shithead, a life in punk"" will be out on Arsenal Pulp Press. It is a definative and raunchy look at punk and the spread of counter culture throughout western society.

Sudden Death Records will also release this fall "Let's Start The Action" an electronic tribute to D.O.A. performed by 20 different artists from around the world and inspired by the anti-globalization movement. As well Sudden Death has recently re-released D.O.A. 1st two albums "Something Better Change" and "Hardcore 81", recently picked as two of the top 5 Canadian punk rock albums of all time. A full length documenatry on D.O.A. "Talk-Action=0" is being developed by film maker Marcus Rogers [The Widower]

D.O.A. has travelled a long, tough road, that has taken them around the world and the raw energy continues. The band has never been more active, having recently released their second DVD, D.O.A.'s "Greatest Shits" and a split album with metal legend Thor ["Are U Ready"]. Recently Mayor Larry Campbell of Vancouver declared December 21st to be " D.O.A. Day" in Vancouver. The band has also been featured in punk and political books published around the world.

Come join in the power and non compromise that is D.O.A.
