Enter at your own risk here, because the last song I heard D.O.A. do was one called "Rebel Kind" and it was one of the worst songs that I'd ever heard that year. But I loved their "Fucked Up Ronnie" back in the day, so we'll give the new one a plug. The spiel:
For the last 35 years, D.O.A. has been churning
out albums, touring the world, and promoting activism at whatever the cost. For
founder Joe Keithley, it's been an amazing experience...
"Playing in D.O.A. for the past 35 years has been a real
privilege, as I have had a great time bringing my music across the world and
getting out my real message: Talk - Action = 0. Little did I know back in 1978
when I started mailing out copies of the Disco Sucks 7" EP that would become my
passport to a lifetime of fun and social activism."
SUDDEN DEATH RECORDS is delighted to announce the
long awaited release of D.O.A.'S 14th studio album WE COME IN
PEACE, which will be released on July 22,
2012.
D.O.A., Canada's punk pioneers, have pulled out
all the stops on this new red hot release. Produced by SEAN HOLOWAYCHUK, SHO
MURRAY and Canada's godfather of punk JOE KEITHLEY, WE COME IN
PEACE has all the firepower, politics and humor that are the
cornerstones of any great D.O.A. album, but on this disc you'll see that
KEITHLEY'S SONGWRITING has branched out in a most fruitful and adventurous
way.
The album takes a determined political stance
with songs like: Dirty Bastards, We're Bloodied But Unbowed, He's Got A
Gun and a stirring version of the TOXIC REASON'S War
Hero.
There's also a heavy slice of reggae/dub,
with the uber-melodic Walk Through This World. You'll get
your head ripped off with crushing anthems like: Who The Hell Do You
Think You Are, Bring Out Your
Dead and Boneyard, which features HUGH DILLON
(HEADSTONES).
There's more great guest vocal appearances that
feature JELLO BIAFRA on the anthemic We Occupy
and BEN KOWALEWICZ (BILLY TALENT) on the
frantic Do You Wanna.
Perhaps the most uplifting moments of the
album come later on with one Joe's best new compositions Lost Souls and his
CLINT EASTWOOD / SPAGHETTI WESTERN opus The Man With No
Name.
D.O.A.
also rip it up with a strong and steady version of The Beatles classic
song Revolution. In addition, Joe took his
old friend JELLO BIAFRA'S advice and recorded an acoustic version of the D.O.A.
classic General Strike (CD only) as a sign of the
times.
