Our Take
Our Take
D.O.A.'s Hardcore 81 hits harder than your mate after a cheeky pint at the pub. This album is a relentless onslaught of punk rock energy, with tracks that will have you pogoing around your living room like a loon. From the blistering opener "World War 3" to the anthemic closer "Fucked Up Ronnie", D.O.A. don't hold back for a second.
Lead singer Joey Shithead's snarling vocals cut through the chaos like a knife through butter, delivering gritty lyrics that are as politically charged as they are catchy. The band's tight musicianship keeps the pace fast and furious, with razor-sharp guitar riffs and pounding drums that will leave you feeling like you've just been in a mosh pit for an hour straight.
But it's not all aggression and intensity - there's a surprising amount of melody and nuance to be found here. Tracks like "Smash the State" and "General Strike" showcase D.O.A.'s ability to craft a killer hook, even amidst the punk rock chaos. And the album's production, while raw and gritty, gives these songs a sense of urgency and immediacy that is impossible to ignore.
So grab a pint, crank up Hardcore 81, and get ready to be blown away by D.O.A.'s infectious energy and killer tunes. There's a reason they're legends in the punk rock scene, and this album is a perfect example of why. Pogo on, my friends. Pogo on.
