Only weeks after announcing his plan to run for mayor, Joe Keithley has now teed up a new full-length record with his bandmates in D.O.A. Titled Fight Back, the iconic punk outfit's latest will arrive May 1 through Keithley's own Sudden Death Records.
The album is described as "a scathing and timely piece" that "deals with all manner of unseemly low characters and issues." It's hard to imagine anything but from a disc that boasts songs titled "You Need an Ass Kickin' Right Now," "Killer Cops," "Time to Fight Back," "I Just Got Back from the USA" and "We Won't Drink This Piss," to name a few.
Fight Back marks D.O.A.'s first album since 2015's Hard Rain Falling, with the new album being the group's 17th studio full-length.
In addition to the new LP, D.O.A. have mapped out an extensive 40th anniversary tour. The North American trek will keep them on the road from late May to July. You can find a complete itinerary below.
