| | Description: | In 1982, D.O.A. was ready to record a new album on the heels of their first two alums> Something Better Change and Hardcore '81, which are still both musical landmarks to this day. But their legendary line up had changed, as Randy Rampage was ousted from the band. Chuck Biscuits' older brother Dimwit Biscuits stepped in on bass with Chuck still on drums, Joey Shithead on vocals and guitar and Dave Gregg on guitar. While this line up only lasted for three months, the band traveled to L.A. and recorded demos at Mystic Studios. Eventually Chuck quit, Dimwit took over on drums and Wimpy Roy became the bassist. So, as a grand way of celebrating the 40th Anniversary of War On 45, which many a critic and fan hailed as one of the most innovative albums of its time and on a par, quality wise with their first two albums. Sudden Death decided to add some bonus matterial. First off, now included is a 12-page booklet of unique photos, posters and an extensive history of D.O.A. at that time, written by Canada's godfather of punk Joey Shithead. Also, All eight tracks from the War On 45 1982 release are on side A and seven tracks from the pre-War On 45 demos that were recorded at Mystic onto Side B. So one has the Montgomery brothers: Biscuits and Dimwit, two of the greatest drummers of all time on the same LP. All in all, this album will hit one hard, the way D.O.A. always has and it sums up one the best eras of these world renowned punk pioneers. - Sudden Death Records are very happy to release this 1982 D.O.A. classic album in it's original form on CD for the first time. This was D.O.A.'s third album, coming on the heels of Something Better Change and Hardcore 81. It made a greater impression on punks and a wider swath of people than the band had ever reached before. One of the key tracks was their version of Edwin Starr's giant hit "War," (The Temptations covered this as well). This was the first time that D.O.A. had been widely played on radio across North America and Europe.The band, in the best punk / reggae spirit, really broke open some new ground for themselves with their amazing adaptation of Ranking Trevor's "War in the East." Of course they turn the throttle wide open with songs that have become D.O.A. mainstays like: "Liar For Hire," "I'm Right, You're Wrong," "America The Beautiful," "I Hate You," "Let's Fuck" and a blazing cover of The Dils "Class War."War On 45 further cemented their reputation as one of the best to ever come along. Jack Rabid (Big Takeover Magazine) said "D.O.A. and the Bad Brains were the best punk bands to ever come out of North America and were really only comparable to the likes of The Clash, SLF and the Sex Pistols." War On 45's stunning front cover was created by Shawn Kerri and inside the CD, the U.K. version's cover that was created by the ingenious Native American artist Clay Sampson is included. That cover depicts Colonel Custer filled with arrows at the battle of Little Big Horn which was a fitting end. War On 45 is a fitting comment on the '80s and somehow the songs still ring true today. | | | No. of tracks: |
