I really dig both, but that Clash tune isn't even the best song on that particular release (either the 7" or Black Market Clash; not even close) and while it's not one of my favorite D.O.A. songs, it's still a ripper/rager. It was the A-side of their 2nd single, btw, not the 1st (which was "Disco Sucks," which I think is one of their best).

My introduction to them was Bloodied But Unbowed LP which is essentially a greatest hits of their first two records. I need to go through the catalog, but they probably have a good albums worth of music after that compilation based on my tastes in music.
But, I have enjoyed seeing them live a few times and would not mind seeing them play live at some point again.

Thank you for mentioning this long-lost record. Do you have any idea how much air I caught while listening to this in 1990?
Also, the drummer on this was also in Personality Crisis.

Even? I like the one with D.O.A. and the Tumor Circus record, too (that's Jello w/ the SF band Steel Pole Bathtub), though I haven't heard either since the early '90s, but The Last Temptation of Reid was always by far my favorite of those tbh and better than the EP they did (The Power of Lard). I was really into late '80s Ministry, though, so that's partly why, but I still think about songs like "I Am Your Clock" and that insane version of "They're Coming to Take Me Away" sometimes; wish I had a copy; off to Disocgs I go...

Jello has often said that Coroner was a big influence. Not only on his music, but his life.

I never knew that, but it kinda makes sense given the H.R. Giger connection (I'm sure most of you know this, but he did artwork for fellow Swiss metal band Celtic Frost and also the infamous Frankenchrist poster) and that his favorite band growing up was Magma (IANK).

X2. Foundational record for me. The 2nd "real"/big touring band punk show I ever saw after Black Flag in June of '86, was D.O.A. and Rights of the Accused in March of 1987. War on 45 and True North, Strong & Free are also great. Don't really know much about their post-80s material, and what little investigation I've made into it has not been fruitful. But man, their early stuff is essential listening IMO.

JGJR wrote:Thanks, lewdd. I'd consider that singles compilation, but am not a big fan of those types of compilations otherwise. I meant getting the reissues of the early singles, SBC, Hardcore '81, etc. It's silly that I don't own physical copies of that stuff at the moment.
version sound wrote:I don’t really know why DOA has never clicked with me. I first heard them on the first Rat Music comp and liked those songs alright. The next thing I heard was War on 45, and that didn’t click. I tried again in the ‘00s when their first two LPs were reissued. I also bought War on 45 again. None of it clicked. I ordered a used copy of Joey’s book a week or so ago, so I’ll probably give them another shot after/while reading that.
