Doa - No Escape From What You Are / Various - DOA - No Escape From What You Are (Various Artists) [CD]

Sudden Death Records is proud to present No Escape From What You Are. 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 Keithley contacted a bunch of his old friends and his favorite bands. As one can see form this sterling lineup, their reaction to covering DOA material was great! DOA, known as the Godfathers of Hardcore and more specifically Shithead himself inventing that term, have influenced bands and fans alike since 1978, having played over 4,500 shows in fifty different countries on five different continents, For a lot of the musicians involved here, DOA was one of their first two or three punk bands they ever saw in their lives. So what one has here are incredible versions of fifteen great sons that Shithead and friends wrote and DOA recorded and performed during the past forty-seven years. Features tracks from Rancid, Circle Jerks, Adolescents, Voivod, Slime, Fear, Toxic Reasons, Duff McKagan, Descendents, Propagandhi, War On Women, Dead Kennedys (featuring Joey Shithead), The Defects and M.D.C.
