Canadian punk pioneers’ raw early tracks.

We Say...
These guys put the endlessly enjoyable late-'70s Vancouver punk/new wave scene on the map with such wonders as Something Better Change and their genre-defining Hardcore '81. With Joey "Shithead" Keithley's bear-growl singing and a rhythm section as scattered and awesome as the Who in bassist Randy Rampage and drummer Chuck Biscuits, their early work was awe-inspiring, vicious rock & roll. See it here on earlier tracks such as the simply-put "Smash the State," and especially the duo of "Kill, Kill, This Is Pop" and "I Hate You."

They Say...
Since 1980, Canadian punk vets D.O.A. have issued countless albums for a variety of indie labels. As a result, a few tracks from sessions of yesteryear slipped through the cracks, which leader Joey Shithead has dusted off and collected for the 2000 compilation Lost Tapes. Since most of the 17 tracks included have never been released, longtimers will be surely be interested in this set. And it doesn't take long to figure out that D.O.A. were a major influence on the recent glut of pop-punk bands clogging up MTV and radio -- in fact, if you were to combine such selections as "Kill Kill This Is Pop" together with "Murder in Hollywood," you'd probably have a blink-182 hit that would light up the charts. The only difference is that D.O.A. were among the true creators of this style -- back when the furthest thing from punk rockers' minds was crossover chart success. Instead, it was all about getting in the van and spreading the word from gig to gig. While it's not a strict "best-of" per se, Lost Tapes certainly plays like one.
