Band Of Rebels is a new solo album from the leader of punk legends D.O.A. and Canada’s godfather of punk, JOE SHITHEAD KEITHLEY. This 14 song album combines punk-a-billy, ska, punk and roots rock. It’s funny, political, upbeat, and incredibly energetic. The songs talk about smokin’ pot, troublemaking, Star Trek, revolution, and messing with corporations. When asked why he has recorded a solo album when D.O.A. is still going strong, Shithead had this to say: I got to stretch out and try new things, this is a different way to fight the system. Band Of Rebels is like an extension of D.O.A., musically it’s a little different, but it’s still nuts and it’s still meant to cause trouble and stir shit up!
March 31 street date. After forty-five years of leading legendary Vancouver punks D.O.A., the man they call Joey Shithead aka Joe Keithley, has a new solo album out on Sudden Death Records - but don't worry, D.O.A. is still touring! "STAND" has a rootsy, rebellious tone, as Keithley combines acoustic and electric guitar on this timely and politically charged album.
