\"D.O.A.
D.O.A. – 13 Flavours of Doom (Alternative Tentacles VIRUS 117, 1992)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Lifelong companions i’d say! From the early stuff of “Hardcore ’81” (1981), “War on 45” (1982) and the John Peel Sessions “Don’t turn yer back (on desperate times)” (1984) D.O.A. have been in the picture, only to move into some sort of hard rock sound in the late 80s and finally odd trash with “Murder” in 1990. And then correctly calling it a day, from where i sit for good\u00a0musickal\u00a0reasons. Now looking at all their massive output over the years their 1992 “comeback” on Alternative Tentacles put them back on the map big time: Great lineup as a trio with Wimpy Roy (of Subhumans fame) and excellent production by John Wright of NoMeansNo fame. And that makes it stand out from all the stuff they did – good songs are matched here with perfect production and excellent recording.<\/p>\n

The verdict:<\/p>\n

1977 \u2013\u00a0yes, but with a scent of\u00a0hardcore<\/em>
\npublished by a cool label \u2013\u00a0Alternative Tentacles – any Q?<\/em>
\nfound in a cool shop \u2013\u00a0Michelle Records, back then a great place for vinyl!<\/em>
\ncatching sound \u2013\u00a0perfect mix of punk, hardcore and most likely the best produced and recorded D.O.A. album…<\/em>
\nthe lyrics \u2013 surprisingly sharp, to the point and up to date still today with the climate issue.<\/em><\/p>\n

I have seen them so many times over the years that i have lost count but i still a wee bit frustrated that i missed their acoustic tour in August 14 in Hamburg. Nevermind – i am sure they will be back!<\/p>\n

The sticking song of that record is “Hole in the Sky,” a song people have dubbed as a song “Al Gore would like if his wife had better taste<\/em>“:<\/p>\n
