D.O.A.

D.O.A.
 
 
D.O.A.  is a Canadian punk rock band from Vancouver, British Columbia.  They are often referred to as the “founders” of hardcore punk along with Black Flag, Bad Brains, Angry Samoans, the Germs, Negative Trend, and Middle Class.  D.O.A. is known for its outspoken political opinions and has a history of performing for many causes and benefits.  The band’s lyrics and imagery frequently advocate anti-racism, anti-globalization, freedom of speech, and environmentalism.  (More from Wikipedia)
 
 
The Avengers album that I have, The American in Me features four tracks that were produced by Steve Jones of Sex Pistols in late 1978.  The remainder of the CD is a June 1979 concert at the Old Waldorf in San Francisco, within days of the final break-up of the band.  Greg Ingraham had left the band when this music was made; he was replaced by Brad Kent (also known as Brad C--t, and formerly in Victorian Pork, D.O.A. and other important Canadian punk rock bands).
