Album Notes D.O.A. (Punk): Joe Shithead Keithley (vocals, guitars); Randy Rampage (vocals, bass instrument); Floor Tom Jones (vocals, drums). Personnel: Danny Galvin (spoken vocals); John Korsrud (trumpet); Rod Murray (trombone); Chris Gestrin (keyboards); Willy B Sober, Ford Pier (background vocals). Audio Mixers: Jamey Koch; Jens. Upon formation in 1978, Vancouver's D.O.A. staked their claim as Canada's preeminent punk act. They further cemented their bonafides with 1981's landmark HARDCORE '81, which may or may not have given the genre its name. To celebrate their 30th anniversary, a near-unprecedented feat in punk, leader Joey Keithley and company recruited old friend Bob Rock (Motley Crüe, Metallica) to produce NORTHERN AVENGER. His polished rock sound pushes the band's politically charged hardcore to new dynamic heights. A gasoline drenched "Devil's Speedway," hockey adventure "Donnybrook," and the defiant "Still a Punk" all sound like classic D.O.A., even with 30 years of hard road behind them.
Industry Reviews 4 stars out of 5 -- [With] lyrics oscillating between socio-political and good-time silliness; a few ska/reggae-influenced tunes; and a bunch of hardcore scorchers...
