04-16-2025

(CWPR) Recently Milo Aukerman (Descendents), Duff McKagan (Guns N' Roses), Lee Ving (FEAR), Tony Reflex (Adolescents), Shawna Potter (War On Women), VOIVOD, Chris Hannah (Propagandhi), Dave Dictor (MDC), Jimmy Joe Pearson (Toxic Reasons), and SLIME sat down to discuss their relationship to D.O.A. and their involvement in the tribute album OUT NOW via Sudden Death Records.

D.O.A. "NO ESCAPE FROM WHAT YOU ARE" is a new all star tribute to punk rock's most enduring band, available now on black vinyl, cherry red vinyl, smash vinyl and splatter vinyl, as well as CD and digital formats. The album features D.O.A. covers by RANCID, DESCENDENTS, CIRCLE JERKS, DUFF MCKAGAN, SLIME, PROPAGANDHI, VOIVOD, and more.

Last winter the D.O.A. guys came up with an album concept... "Hey why don't we get a bunch of our punk rock pals to record D.O.A. songs?" So Canada's Godfather of Punk Joey Sh*thead Keithley contacted a bunch of his old friends and his favorite bands. As you can see from this sterling lineup, their reaction to covering D.O.A. material was great.

D.O.A. known as the Godfathers of Hardcore and more specifically Sh*thead himself invented that term, have influenced bands and fans alike since 1978, having played over 4,500 shows in 50 different countries on 5 different continents.

For a lot of the musicians involved here, D.O.A. was one of the first two or 3 punk bands they ever saw in their lives. So what you have here are incredible versions 15 great songs that Joey and friends wrote and D.O.A. recorded and performed during the past 47 years.
