Last winter the DOA guys came up with an album concept: Hey why don’t we get a bunch of our punk rock pals to record DOA songs? So Canada’s Godfather of Punk, Joey shithead contacted a bunch of his old friends and his favourite bands. As you can see from this sterling line-up, their reaction to covering DOA material was great.

DOA known as the Godfathers of Hardcore (and more specifically Shithead himself who invented that term) have influenced bands and fans alike since 1978, having played over 4500 shows in 50 different countries on 5 different continents. For a lot of the musicians involved here, DOA was one of the first 2 or 3 punk bands they ever saw in their lives. So what you have here are incredible versions of 15 great songs that Joey and friends wrote and DOA recorded and performed during the past 47 years.
