One of my favorite hardcore records back in the day was DOA's "Hardcore '81". This was the Vancouver band's 2nd lp, and has was recently reissued on colored vinyl along with their first LP: "Something Better Change". Both are on vocalist Joey "Shithead" Keithley's label: Sudden Death Records. To order either LP or Keithley's most recently released book: Talk-Action=0, go here.
I'm always on the lookout for fun merch, as my collection of T-shirts got boring a long time ago. It's always great to see something inventive a band has cooked up to offer up to the fans. From eons ago, here's a shot of the DOA Beach Ball that I still have. Now this is a beach ball I'd be proud to bounce around at an outdoor fest! Over Memorial Day weekend, I attended Maryland Death Fest in Baltimore, and with 2 outdoor stages, a few beach balls managed to show up. Impaled Nazarene's vocalist Mika Luttinen, seemed exasperated at seeing the multicolored objects floating through the air during their brutal set of Finnish black/punk/metal, and accused the audience of being hippies in the middle of a Woodstock flashback. Snicker.
Here's a video of DOA as a 3-piece performing "World War 3"
Here's a video made for Impaled Nazarene's (unairable on FM) "Armageddon Death Squad"
why is it unairable on FM?

That's the dumb reasoning I was guessing it would be "unairable" but I listened to it twice and didn't hear it. Am I losing it?

hahahahaha sorry nevermind. I misread and thought the line was refering to D.O.A. I just might be losing it.
