1981 Sudden Death Records
One of the best punk albums from one of the best punk bands. Saw them live ,actually saw all the bands from back then live and not one out played DOA.
Pointed Sticks were close
@@teeceemoo It helped that they had a Montgomery brother pounding the skins for ‘em. Dimwit was a force of nature.
The greatest punk rock album of all time. I fucking said it.
I remember when this album came out. It was very, very hard to find. Everywhere it sold out really fast. Only one person in my group of maybe ten was able to buy one because she was smarter than all of us. She knew when the release date and went to the Record Peddler that day. Unfortunately, I had to go to work and by the weekend, it was sold out. Fkg GREAT ALBUM!!!
Fortunately, where I lived at the time there was a record store called Real Records that was co-owned by 2 of the original punks in our scene (U-Ron from Really Red and Jim Craine from Culturcide/AK-47), and U-Ron was originally from Vancouver and knew the guys from Quintessence and Friends Records, so he helped distribute their stuff locally and got a big surplus of all the early DOA and Subhumans releases, and I got my copy of HC81 right when it was hot off the presses, but I do remember how maybe a year or 2 later all those records just vanished.
One of the best HC records
Great fucking album but I prefer something better change

Zed records. Long Beach
To quote Keith Morris "The greatest punk rock bands are X, Bad Brains and DOA" .
No question.
I 100% agree. DOA is my favourite band and I love X and Bad Brains. But of course I you also gotta add Blag Flag, Dead Kennedys, The Germs and Circle Jerks
Y Eskorbuto y Subterránean Kids.
And many more as well like DEAD BOYS, DEAD KENNEDYS,GERMS,ETC
Sex Pistols?
@@christineblack4654 more like The Damned
I was 15 the first time I saw DOA at the Starwood in Hollywood back in 1980. Fast forward many years later, I took my 15 year old daughter to see them at Jerry's Pizza in Bakersfield. Good times.
I’m moving to Bakersfield in a month.
@@vinylrichie007 I'm sorry.
@@vinylrichie007 Mmmmm... Bakersfield in August. 100+ temps and the rank odor of manure and desperation in the air. You're gonna love it!
I was 16
PUNK IS NOT DEAD!!
I like how this band feels way more fun than most hardcore
Hardcore used to be fun. Hell, even early Black Flag had a sense of humour. Punks tend to take themselves too seriously, especially these days.
Yeah because in the early 80's it was still about doing something new and not having rules or codes dictating the way things were supposed to be. After roughly '84 or so it got real stupid, real fast... with all these dumb little factions and cliques that said you had to dress a certain way or sound a certain way in order to be "real". For me that's when the spirit of the original scene truly died and the bozos and boneheads took over.
West coast Hardcore bands tended to be more fun than the east coast bands. Gang Green are a big exception.
@@vinylrichie007 Yeah Gang Green were definitely all about partying (and skating). They were a lot of fun live. They stood out from all the other Boston HC bands, who were mostly straight-edge. Another great Boston band from the 80's who liked to get wasted was the Dogmatics. They weren't hardcore. More like garage punk, but they played in that scene back then and really stood out.
@@Brewzerr gonna check that out, I really love stuff like "Nice Boys"... Not really clinging to any styles, I think they all complement each other quite well and I really love it when RnR origins shine through.
For me personally, I've never given a single shit one way or another whether people call this 'punk', 'hardcore', or "hardcore punk"... because it's really all of those things. I'm old enough to remember when the term 'hardcore' first originated in association with punk bands, and to my recollection it was actually a couple of years before this album even came out. I remember an article from late '79 in an old bay area punk zine called "Search & Destroy", where some journalist used the term 'hardcore' to make a distinction between the louder, faster, angrier bands in the West Coast scene from the other more arty and intellectual bands. Among the bands listed in the 'hardcore' category, I remember the Avengers, Negative Trend, Bags, Germs, and possibly Dils. I remember thinking to myself that "hardcore" was the perfect way to describe and differentiate those bands, though at the time that term was mainly only used in reference to porn movies and not music. A couple of years later, and DOA basically codified the term with this album (and tour) and it became common vernacular for a new and younger scene that was cropping up all over the world.
Still, it's all punk rock to me.
I wish I could have seen what you did back then but I was born in 79. My punk years started 89-90 and saw every band I could starting in the mid 90s on, anyways glad to hear about people like you
It's just rock and roll.
I agree with you I was there as well. It's funny how some terms just latch on. I remember when the term "emo" was first used by Pushead in his column in Thrasher Magazine to describe the Minor Threat 7" Salad Days...
yeah, all of those are just abstract, loose adjectives, not genres. people are lame with their labels and pricing guns.
I think you're arguing to your self 🥺
REAL punk rock.
100%
Proud to be a Vancouverite! And I'm proud of D.O.A for popularizing the term Hardcore with this album.
Yeah you ain't shit until you been smacked in the head with a beer can at the Smilin Buddha. Man.
New York Theater ! Vancouver.
Saw them at this show
February 81
The Laundromat if I’m correct Richards St
Was 2 day event
Still awesome after over 40 years
Yeah I’m old 😮
You should be proud. You guys had one hell of a scene! Not just DOA, but Subhumans, Pointed Sticks, Dishrags, K-Tels (Young Canadians), Modernettes, U-JRK5, I, Braineater… I could go on and on. I’m originally from Texas, and we used to hear stories about the Vancouver scene all the way down in Houston. It helped that the singer of one of our most beloved local bands (Really Red) grew up in Vancouver and still had some ties. Ronnie Bond (aka U-Ron) also owned a great record store called Real Records, and he’d get all the really hard to find (in the U.S.) stuff on the independent Vancouver labels like Quintessence and Friends. Really Red played with DOA on the H81 tour. It was DOA’s first gig in Houston, and my first time seeing them. It was easily one of the top 5 best shows I’ve ever seen. They just scorched. So did Really Red.
What a great compliment considering the steady diet of high octane punk and hardcore you were treated to by your own greats down there in Texas@@Shikta-poobah67
R.I.P Randy Rampage
This and Something Better Change are 2 of the best hardcore punk albums ever
RIP Randy Rampage.
Saw them throughout the 80s SF CA. Now just f in great in 2021. Happy New Year 2022
These guys were awesome as a live band.
They were pretty damn great in the studio too. At least on the first few albums and the War On 45 EP.
still are
One of the best punk bands ever, no doubt, and this is, for me, their finest hour (well, 20 mins lol)! I loved Something Better Change, but this one will always be the favorite for me. When they first played in my hometown, they all stayed at my place (well, Mom's place, it was 84), and it was just a great time. They were all awesome people to talk to and hang with, and it will always be a great punk rock memory for me. Thanks for posting this!!!
Awesoedm album ! Real Punk rock Hardcore! Short and fast songs! Great band! Punks not dead!
I grew up in South Burnaby and around 1980-81 I got a little 45 record with Disco Sucks & and Nazi Training Camp. I still have it and have always thought of DOA as one of if not the best punk bands ever!!!!!! DOA RULES!!!!!!!1
Saw them perform this album the other night live and it was great! I’ve been to some shows in arenas before, but never a punk show, it was amazing! My first mosh pit too, what a night!
This is rock&roll heaven! You can call it Hardcore if you like it that way,but UNKNOWN is pure r'n'r
Well, not to split hairs, but when they decided to title this album “Hardcore 81”, they meant “hardcore punk rock”, and all punk rock is, is stripped down snotty rock and roll with a little extra attitude… so yeah.
The piano in the mix helps with that too.
150% agreed. D.O.A., Motorhead, Flamin' Groovies, Radio Birdman, The Damned, Pink Faeries, Dictators.......all of 'em......Rock N' Roll!!!!
Joey Shithead, guy was 100% for REAL! For a Canadian punk band to basically conquer the US was monumental. Every band in the early 80s never turned down a chance to play with D.O.A. If you toured Canada, especially Vancuver, you always had a place at Joey's place.
I saw him back in 85 and you are correct a real person awesome guy
Tony what band where you with??
I played for two local bands in California....but we were unknown. But I went on tour with several bands and went through Canada a couple times.
I roadied for a couple bands...I did Agnostic Front
i saw A.F. between late 84 and mid 85 somewhere in there but not with DOA
i saw you guys in a little hole in the wall at the WEST CATASAUQUA PLAYGROUND FIELD HOUSE IN PENNSYLVANIA, it was a very small crowded building
does it sound familiar?, i think you played there more than once, i am friends with 2 small bands from that area that might have played with you, YOUTH QUAKE and THE RUSSIAN MEAT SQUATS,
DOA played there one and i saw them there and one other place in my area,i saw them during there LETS WRECK THE PARTY TOUR in 85
thanks your friend Joe
Let me qualify my statement here lol. I didn't play for them....I roadied with them. But only on the west coast portion and Canada tour in 85 w/ GBH and 86 summer.
Best punk album EVER.
Top 10 for sure.
Masterpiece.
My Dad actually paid for this for me. It was either 81 or 82 and we were visiting his mum and dad in a place called Wickford in Essex [England, east of London for those who don't know], and we went into a local record shop - Adrians [quite well-known in England]. My brother-in-law bought Skynyrd's Free Bird 12-inch pic disc and my Dad turned round and asked if I wanted a record. I'd heard of D.O.A. so I picked this one. He shelled out £6 - it was an import and most vinyl LPs were about £3 or £4. I still have it and I still love it. Thanks Dad. I even have Musical Interlude as the wake up alarm on my phone!
Wickford is not in East London pmsl, it's a shitty little town 50k+ outside London with a Southend postcode, and Adrians is not well known in England. You have good taste in music though so I'll let you off :-)
You had great taste in music! :) I saw them in 82 in San Diego- still love this band today!
Paul Vine I said Wickford was east OF London, not IN East London. There are people from all over the world on UA-cam who will have heard of London, but won't need or even care to know EXACTLY where Wickford is. And if you go to record fairs then you will meet collectors from all over the UK who know of Adrians.
Toby Gibson Thanks Toby. I appreciate your commeny.
@Paul Vine It could be worse, he could live in Canvey...
Had this album on cassette and literally wore it out and had to get a new one. One of my favorite early 80ies Punk bands, saw them a couple of times.
One of the best punk bands ever, why don't more people know about them? They were more musical and rock 'n' roll than most hardcore bands and I always liked that about them.
+Kevin Blake They are Punks...
Many hardcore bands classify themselves as Punk, so it is really a matter of perspective.
When I was a kid it was all "punk" and it was just an obvious given that the older bands from the 70s tended to be a bit more rock & roll and the newer younger bands were faster and more angry. We used the word hardcore sometimes, but it wasn't until the mid 80s that I realized people were using it like a separate genre from punk. I also remember the first time I heard the word "mosh" and I thought it was some kind of snack.
Joe is a true Punk Rocker hands down. He ain't gonna let some stick in the ass corp. record co. tell him what he can say or write about. Yeah more people should know DOA.
Kevin Blake Joey Shithead kicks Belvedere ass, bro
Still awesome, 36 years later!!
And 42 years later too
Love the production, love the drumming, love the energy, love the vibe... What isn't there to love about this album?
What isn't there to love about DOA in general?
NOTHING LOVE EVERYTHING THEY DO ONE OF THE BETTER BANDS THAT CAME ON THE PUNK SCENE PUNK'S NOT DEAD AND IT WILL NEVER BE ☠👍💀👍☠👍💀👍☠
The color scheme? 😆
SAW THEM TWICE IN 85 AND DAVE GREGG WAS WITH THEM THEN HE WAS AN AWESOME GUY TALKED WITH HIM FOR LIKE AN HOUR!!
AWESOME GUITAR PLAYER
REST EASY DAVE YOU WILL BE MISSED!!
out of all there stuff this is may favorite,i love most if not all there early material!!
Saw this tour at The Urban Noize Club in Portland. Local band The Rats featuring the legendary Fred and Tooty Cole opened. Shithead had a bum leg and had to sit on a bar stool to play the show. And Randy Rampage and Dave Gregg absolutely FLEW around that stage. It was incredible.
Better guitar playing than most hard core.
RIP Dave...so sad. I hope there is a gig in his honour soon. A way for all of us to say good bye in the best way.
UA-cam needs a "Subscribe to all channels uploading full hardcore punk albums" button.
saw these guys countless times in the 80's...just a great live rock and roll band...the first two albums really stand the test of time.
Not to mention all the singles and EP's from that era. The "World War 3/Whatcha Gonna Do?" single was one of DOA's finest moments.
Brilliant
There playing down the street from me tonight,DOA rocking Rossland BC
Chuck what a drummer 🥁
Remember seeing all these bands that are the Tube back in the day. Best show ever was anything the Circle Jerks or Social D played or the Suicidal Venice Pavilion shows.
Awesome 😊
Such a great record and band for that matter. This and 'Something Better Change' should be in everyone's music collection.
Yeah I'm one of those people who loves both of those albums equally. Something Better Change was my introduction to DOA, right at the time it came out in 1980. It really blew me away and it still gets my blood pumping today, 40 years later. Hardcore 81 was the perfect follow-up a year later and equally blew me away. Obviously those 2 albums differ a bit. SBC is more anthemic and fleshed-out, but H81 is faster. looser, and more raw. The two albums complement each other perfectly, and that line-up of Shithead, Rampage, Gregg, and Biscuits just couldn't be touched by other DOA line-ups, though the '82-'83 line-up with Dimwit and Wimpy came pretty close.
I’d also throw in War On 45 for good measure. Different lineup, but only barely less great.
Best hardcore band hands down...glad I saw them live, totally badass.
Man. I was only 10 yrs. old when this album came out, although I did catch a glimpse of their band name and many other punk bands thanks to an older sister of one of my 5th-grade classmates who was a "punk rocker" at the time (I think she must've been about 15). I was intrigued by all the expressive and unusual band names I saw on the LPs strewn across her bedroom floor... Sex Pistols, The Exploited, Circle Jerks, GBH, DOA and others, yet couldn't quite understand why she had such a dark and menacing demeanor, wearing all black with raccoon eyes and studs, spikes and chains in the middle of a sun-kissed surfer neighborhood on LA's Westside. It's been only within the past few months here on UA-cam that I've decided to go back and explore all those punk bands from back then whose names I'd only known by seeing them on patches or scrawled on notebooks, Pee-Chees, book covers and skate decks 40 years ago. DOA definitely doesn't disappoint!
ONE OF 5. HARDCORE ALBUMS OF ALL TIME
RADO SKOPEC yea
This is punk.
saw their last concert in Cali last year. Pit was dead -.- , I was one of three people trying to get the pit started and going. The music is too good to not pit to.
+Daniela Solis Someones gotta get the pit started. Im from SoCal too where slam dancing started so im usually that guy getting things moving. Cant have a punk/hardcore show in cali without a proper circle pit. People are too uptight
Daniela S good news, they’re touring with Dead Kennedys this year
Hit the Pit for FEAR in Long Beach CA, 2 years ago at 58. Luckily I'm 6'2" and 215 lbs
They definently made a mark in the old punk music seen..those that were there know what I'm talking about.
Top 10 hardcore record of all time
I feel like I've seen this band live but I don't remember anymore lol
Gospel
.
Every DOA gig I was at they always put on a good show.
I get to see the 40 Anniversary show of hardcore..81 Oct 31 ....Lol
@@user-uu8wy5xs1t Have fun
That’s cool man! I started with this band when I was 14 in 1986.Best group ever!
The fist time I heard DOA I fell of my pet dinosaur 🦖🧷
Right out of highschool 81 DOA not to be missed !
Graduated 82. Wore this out
Los acabo de conocer indagando por estos lugares y que tremenda banda 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯💯💯💯💯
One of the best records ever. I wish I never sold this one
That record is amazing
Opened for them in Indianapolis with my band The Primates! 85. Also cooked them a big dinner after the gig!
Is this Crevo.
?
I was always a metal guy back in those days, not a lot of crossover was happening. Knew of Chuck Biscuits from Danzig. Had my first listen tonight of this album, loved it stellar 5 stars.
Never been much of a crossover fan, but I do love the two original crossover bands from Southern California - China White and The Stains. Both released some great albums, and were doing a metal/punk hybrid thing several years before that sound got popular.
chuck biscuit = punk rock keith moon
Interesting that you say that. I remember Craig Lee saying just that in the late 70's
+C J Parrott Chuck Biscuit is without a doubt one of the greatest hardcore drummers of all time. Him and Bill Stevenson from Descendents/Black Flag
apebrain07 who is craig lee?
C J Parrott
Journalist( Slash, Flipside, L A Weekly) & member of several early Hollywood punk bands: Bags, Boneheads,Catholic Discipline. He was my neighbor in East Hollywood. Died '92
Nah = Chuck’s brother Dimwit would be the Keith Moon equivalent
My dad partied with these guys and played shows with them
seen these guys easily 100 times or more
this album changed the way I looked at music
now in my 60s and it still rocks out
SEMINAL HARDCORE ALBUM
I always knew that our local punk scene was on fire..
Saw D.O.A. with Coffin Break and a little band named Nirvana many years ago. It was a damn good show.
Great punk album...20mins of fun
La famosa libreta de direcciones de D.O.A.
Priceless
saw them at the ritz in nyc!!!! awesome!!!
chuck biscuits.
yes. I fuckin love this drummer. his style with the use of the snare is amazing and unique in punk rock
@@spacemanbose Not just the snare. What about all that fancy footwork? Biscuits could sound like he was playing a double-kick with just one foot. You don’t hear it so much on D.O.A. recordings, but I remember hearing/seeing him pull that crazy shit off live. Especially when I saw him with the Circle Jerks in either ‘83 or ‘84.
rip Randy
Keep rockin live Joe , You motivate me !
I remember shaking your hand !
DOA ruled bigtime
love punk band from Canada.enyoy hanson brothers and no means no....yeesss

Anyone listened to MDC - MDC (Millions of Dead Cops - More Dead Cops) ? Absolutely a great fucking album.
+TH3HOLYJ3BUS One of my top favorites..
+TH3HOLYJ3BUS i did, in 80s...I was a big fan of M.D.C.. and S.O.D. :) Some pics from live gig in Croatia few years ago snowcrash42.deviantart.com/art/MDC-VI-55335892
pwer2dppl mate i envy you, i wish i was alive when hardcore punk was just kicking off.
:) ye, great times to grow up...
+TH3HOLYJ3BUS I know them. I used to live in their vat when they went on tour in 1982. My x played with them. Dave Dictor just wrote a book about the life of MDC
Imagine how great this album would have been with some bass.
You can hear the bass if you use headphones
@@andyfios or a decent cheap subwoofer ;)
I've been to their gigs and they had a base player.
so put some on, man
It's a very mid-range-y album, but I can still hear the bass just fine.
Good times...even better record
I remember my brothers band CONTRABAND....they were great too
I saw Contraband w DOA. Early '82'
amazing album amazing band!
D.O.A. - That's my shit!
😍
The prisoner is the bomb
2201 - 0 !
Cheers from nova
DOA was the greatest band but nobody cares ....nowadays ...but if you like rock these Canadians were the CLASH Of North America ...
This is not rock, this is hardcore punk.
Chaz Seymour nnnaaaah... They're much different but alice in chains is the best ;)
+Chaz Seymour nope..when the Clash played Vancouver and DOA opened for them they .wouldnt let them do a sound check and they treated them in the most condescending manner...I remember Chucks t-shirt read Give'em Enough Hype...DOA were always the real deal...the Clash..fashionistas..
I personally like the circle jerks, but DOA from what I have heard I aswell really like, fucking love the clash.
+Hans Fenger yes after i heard the story i abhorred the fucking clash and their rock star shit
Ljubljana live, in January 1984. Dom Svobode Sentvid totally full of all kinds of Yugoslav nutcases, sweat pouring from all the walls.
they gave name to a genre...
They definitely helped codify the name, but people were already using the term 'hardcore' as early as 1979 to describe some of the louder, faster, angrier punk bands that were starting to crop up at the time. However after this album came out (and the subsequent "Hardcore 81" North American tour that followed) it became common vernacular. I'm old enough to remember an article in 'Search and Destroy" (an old bay area punk zine) from 1979 where they labeled a few West Coast punk bands like the Avengers, Bags, Germs, and Negative Trend as "hardcore punk" to differentiate them from the other more arty and intellectual bands in the scene.
The second song is...the sound of sweet success
...
that's just a line in the song. the song is called "unknown"
@@davidkorsrud2873 I’m pretty sure he/she was just playing with words.
You put the length of the songs down, instead of their position on the album. So instead of going the the indicated song, you end up, like,1:55 through the first song.
Nessa época eu era adolescente 😂 kkk
D O A Real Punk Rock from Dave Gnarly
FIND OUT FOR YOUR SELF!??. AND SEE WHAT YOU GET? REMEMBER THE TOILET BOWL LID ?, GUITAR? 1982,83?. THE QUICK CHANGE'S IN THERE SONG'S!. DOA WERE AHEAD OF THE TIME'S.!. BLOODIED BUT UN EMBOWED!! DO THIS, DO THAT. DAVE KEEP ON KEEPING ON!.
A friend had this on one side and Minor Threat's Out of Step on the other of a cassette tape. Needless to say, but I will, that that tape needed to be patched up with adhesive to keep it together. I loved MT but DOA's larger social justice message makes them standouts to this very day.
Happy Canada day fuckers!
cool
Bad brains and doa are best hc/punk in cosmic universe
& MINUTEMEN!!!!!
Ukrainian Hall and somebody had their Bass stolen and I got blamed. Threw someone into a fir tree. Drank downstairs with the weightlifting club. 2 gallons of red beau and a 26 of vodka. Seems like yesterday
saw them on Thursday night in Berlin. amazing. but were selling and vynls for 20 euro so fuck it too much for a simple short sleeve shirt and or a vynil
Pretty common for shirts to be about $40 over here in Canada. Have never purchased vinyl from a show, so I couldn't tell you what they'd go for. As far as record store purchases are concerned though, you're looking at $20-$40 for your average new press over here.
and time or a change i saw on line 24 euro wtf for s ingle standard vinyl why makes no sense
This band rules seen them in London, & Boston, great Canadian old school punk rock. 🖕🇨🇦🖕
Their work anticipated how neoliberalism would eventually unravel the remaining equity after the 1970s. Thatcher, Mulroney and others would replace post WWII collectivism with greedy self-interest and profit before people.
Oh, so it's an album title. Someone told me this was a genre. I've been had!
The album title named the genre
@@SonofSethoitae I know, it's the same way death metal got its name from a song by Possessed. I'm just clowning because the whole core thing is so blown out of proportion with all the spin-off genres it's become a dead meme. We all know albacore is the only true core tho
@@SonofSethoitaeNo. It just popularized the title and codified it. People were using the term ‘hardcore’ (in reference to music) a few years before this.
FUCKIN YAAAAYY
