As frequent as Joe Shithead's reissuing of all things D.O.A. may be, it's hard to get tired of it when he releases products like this. Smash The State showcases the legendary hardcore band in their prime, and the footage is perfectly in step with the band themselves — raw and intense with absolutely no frills.

in
By Cameron Gordon (CHARTattack) November 14, 2008 11:22 am
A lot can happen in the span of 30 years, but in the case of Vancouver punk icons D.O.A., not much has changed since 1978.

D.O.A. are one of those bands who have such a respectable track record that it makes them almost unreviewable, unless you're prone to spewing redundant hyperbole about seminal bands.
