If anyone is looking for protest songs one has to look to the old school kats; Neil Young and D.O.A are throwing the gauntlet at corporate greed and its associated environmental degradation. The current generation of musicians are silent on these issues or maybe they’re just using instagram and snapchat for political ends, who knows? But what we do know is the legendary Vancity punk pioneers, D.O.A., are as vocal as ever. Their latest album Hard Rain Falling picks up where Dylan left off. The Times have changed and for the worse, time for action because Talk minus Action equals a big fat Zero. D.O.A have taken over the airwaves for their message.
They cross Canada for the umpteenth time in the Fall.
