Background notes

Archive material and source history

D.O.A. started playing in Vancouver around 1978, with Joey "Shithead" Keithley on vocals and guitar. They put out records like 'Hardcore '81' and 'Something Better Change' that helped define what Canadian hardcore punk sounded like. The band's lineup changed over time, but Keithley kept it going.

Their songs often had political lyrics and a fast, raw sound. Tracks like 'Full Metal Jackoff' and 'The Warrior Ain't No More' show that approach. In 1996, they covered a Brazilian song called 'Virgem Mãe de Amor' on their album 'Loggerheads,' which got some attention from religious groups who objected to the lyrics.

D.O.A. kept recording through the 2000s and 2010s with albums like 'We Come in Peace' and 'Talk Action = Reaction.' They've been playing for decades now, and Keithley has been involved in various activist causes outside of music.
