Extra Info
After 35 years and 14 studio albums, canadian punk legends D.O.A. are calling it a day. They will say goodbye to europe and the uk with a 3 week final farewell tour.
The band is calling it quits as Joe Keithley will focus more on his political work for Canada`s New Democratic Party (NDP).
"I've been working on trying to change Canada and this world into a better place from outside the system for the last 35 years," ?Keithley shares in a press release on
the northamerican final tour, "now I will do my utmost to effect that change from inside the system. That's why I am running for the only progressive party, the NDP."
The band released last september their 14th and last record " We Come In Peace".
We Come In Peace' is as much a declaration of D.O.A.'s mission on this, the band's 14th studio album of allnew material, as it is a way to identify this collection of songs
by serving as the album's title. Always a fiercely political band, D.O.A. have upped the ante here by jumping headfirst into the fray of the messy and chaotic shitstorm
that is today's lessthanstable worldwide political environment, tackling the financial crisis, the Occupy movement (the song "Occupy feat. JELLO BIAFRA), shady dealings
by top officials, systemic bigotry, andother important issues ヨ both those that have been ripped from the headlines and those that have been culled from buried stories
and the underground press."
