D.O.A. w/ Odyssey - Legendary punk from Canada
When D.O.A. formed from the ashes of a band called The Skulls in 1978, punk rock itself was still in its infancy. The Canadian band played faster than The Ramones but was as politically charged as the Clash. Their unrelenting intensity and the fortuitously titled sophomore album Hardcore 81 led to a popularizing of the term hardcore as a description of punk rocks louder and snottier second wave that is still in use today.
Although the band would have a revolving door of members, including original drummer Chuck Biscuits who would go on to drum in Black Flag, Danzig, and Social Distortion, the one constant is Joe Keithley. In addition to playing guitar and singing in D.O.A. he owns Sudden Death Records which release his own music as well as the likes of MDC, Sham 69, The Vibrators, and Thor. He also: became a published author with the 2004 autobiography I, Shithead: A Life in Punk (taking the surname Shithead when the band started probably seemed like a good idea at the time), entered into the Canadian Independent Music Hall of Fame, and, aside from a small break in the early 1990s, spent the past 40 years fronting D.O.A. and living up to the mantra Talk Action = Zero.
