D.O.A.

1) Vancouver's D.O.A. were an early and extremely influential punk rock band. Formed in 1978, they quickly got down to business by releasing the Disco Sucks EP on singer/guitarist Joey Shithead's own Sudden Death label. Along with other early pioneers, they blazed the trail to a North American punk scene by putting out records and touring with virtually no existing 'scene' infrastructure to rely on. Early shows included clashes with audience members and police, and they can attest that police riots at punk shows were not strictly an LA occurrence.

Austin, TX’s bravest buzz band!” – INsite Magazine It is no surprise to find out that this duo majored in theater, and in fact that is where Rob and Kate met. Before Dawn bridges the gaps between synth-laden electro pop, post punk/alt. rock and club music. Their stage show is 100% Rock and Roll fun...
