D.O.A.
It wasn't long before punk rock expanded beyond just New York City, London, and Los Angeles during the mid- to late '70s, as evidenced by the emergence of the long-running Vancouver, Canada based outfit, D.O.A.. Originally formed in 1978, D.O.A. has been led from the beginning by singer/guitarist Joe Keithley, (aka Joey Shithead), who has been joined by a wide variety of other bandmates through the years (including future Black Flag/Danzig/Social Distortion drummer Chuck Biscuits), although guitarist Dave Gregg was present for much of the hijinks up until 1990. The same year as their formation, D.O.A. issued a debut EP, Disco Sucks, before following it up with a pair of full-lengths that many longtime fans consider D.O.A.'s classic recordings, 1980s Something Better Change and 1981's Hardcore '81 (a popular compilation of both releases plus early tracks reared its head in 1984, as Bloodied But Unbowed). Since the beginning Keithley has been unafraid to voice his political opinions (a renowned D.O.A. slogan among their faithful is "TALK-ACTION= 0"), which at one point, landed him in jail. D.O.A. would go on to sporadically issue albums throughout the '80s and '90s (including such highlights as 1982's War on 45, 1985's The Dawning of a New Error, 1993's Loggerheads, etc.). The group also found time to collaborate with another outspoken punk leader, former Dead Kennedys frontman Jello Biafra, on 1990s Last Scream of the Missing Neighbors. Like Biafra before him, Keithley took the plunge and attempted to enter politics, running as a candidate in Canadian provincial and civic elections for the Green Party in 1996. Keithley also runs his own indie record company, Sudden Death Records, and issued an autobiography in late 2003, titled -I, Shithead: A Life in Punk. D.O.A. continues strong to this day, as evidenced by such releases as 2002's Win the Battle. As a result of Keithley's hard work, D.O.A. is often name-checked as an important influence by other hardcore/punk bands, including such notables as Green Day, the Offspring, Rancid, and Propagandhi, among others.
DESASTROZOMBIES:
DESASTROZOMBIES nace de las cenizas de The Astrozombies banda harcore punk (1998) de la vieja escuela de Buenawista (Altza-Gipuzkoa) de donde salieron bandas como NCC, Señor No, Discipulos de Dionisos, Teen Dogs,etc…
Los componentes son:
Manu: Guitarra y voz
Unai: Bajo y coros
mikel: guitarra y coros
Aitor: Bateria
Todos ellos con EXPERIENCIA EN OTRAS BANDAS, como Señor No, Teen Dogs, Valium Generation, etc…
La mala suerte hizo k, nunca avanzara la vida cotidiana de The Astrozombies por los numerosos cambios de bateria, llegando a tener hasta 11 baterias diferentes y posiblemente de los mejores de Gipuzkoaldea (Señor No, NCC, LOBO ELECTRICO, FIST FUCKING, CAPTAIN NEMO, etc…) No obstante las ganas de hacer zapatilla y la ausencia para esta nueva epoca del guitarra Patxi, provoca una nueva era con nuevo nombre k encaja al pelo con la vida real de los zombies. DESASTROZOMBIES mitad Desastre mitad Zombies.Acompañados a las batacas por Aitor y una nueva guitarra de acompañamiento a cargo de Mikel inician una nueva etapa en la que ya curtidos en escenarios de todo el Estado vienen a seguir dando kaña y recordar k esto de la música,perura lo k,uno kiera y como tienen muchas ganas,seguiran perdurando hasta k sus tímpanos se lo permitan...
Seguiran fieles a sus míticos directos de breves y contundentes.Esperan en breve la aparición de su primer Maxi Single como modo de presentación de la banda,aunke por movidas de fechas, es posible k no esté para Abril.
