D.O.A to Release "The Men of Action" 30th Anniversary DVD

Sudden Death Records and MVD Visual are pleased to announce the release of D.O.A "The Men of Action" 30th Anniversary DVD for worldwide distribution on August 11, 2009.

D.O.A., Canada's legendary punks and the progenitors of hardcore punk, have produced an extraordinary DVD that covers the band's 30 year career. It's an essential collection of songs and punk/activist stories.

The DVD consists of 26 songs, 10 that the band produced storyline videos for and 16 that are live productions. There are two ways to view the DVD: "Chaos Program" features the music videos only, while "Anarchy Program" features Joe Shithead Keithley, Canada's godfather of punk, telling the story of D.O.A. and punk in general as the videos play.

The anniversary DVD package also includes as a bonus, D.O.A.'s critically acclaimed new album Northern Avenger, produced by the legendary Bob Rock. The album has received rave reviews around the world. Also included is a 12-page booklet that includes rare photos of D.O.A. On the DVD itself, included are some hilarious hidden tracks.

Track Listing: D.O.A., Disco Sucks, World War 3, New Age, Get Out Of My Life, Last Night, War, 001 Loser's Club, Fuck You, I'm Right, You're Wrong, America The Beautiful, Liar For Hire, General Strike, Fucked Up Ronnie, Lumberjack City, Midnight Special, The Warrior Lives Again, Let's Wreck The Party, 2+2, The Prisoner, Behind The Smile, Death Machine, I See Your Cross, We're Drivin' To Hell N' Back, Police Brutality, and Human Bomb

In other news, D.O.A. have just released the first video from their new album Northern Avenger. When D.O.A. leader Joe Keithley was finishing writing the songs for Northern Avenger, Polish immigrant Robert Dziekanski was unnecessarily tasered five times by the R.C.M.P. at the Vancouver Airport and died as a result of that callous action. The song and the video Police Brutality are D.O.A.'s reaction to that brutal act.
