D.O.A. is back from a great European tour that saw them play 20 shows in 19 days throughout seven different countries. At the May Day Rally in Zurich, Switzerland, D.O.A. and a crowd of 2000 were surrounded by 1,000 Swiss riot police, armed with rubber bullet guns and batons, backed up by water cannon trucks and barricade-smashing vehicles. 400 people were arrested, but D.O.A. managed to escape intact. D.O.A. leader Joe Shithead Keithley said “The fascists were out for practice on a peaceable crowd, the future’s gonna suck if we don’t stand up for our rights!”

D.O.A. will tour the US East Coast and the Midwest for the first time since 2004. They have always been known as one punk’s best live bands and their current line up reinforces that. On the 2010 World Tour, Joe and bassist Dirty Dan Sedan along with drummer Floor Tom Jones will play tons of tracks from three of D.O.A.’s greatest albums: Hardcore 81, Bloodied But Unbowed and War On 45. They will also throw in a sprinkling of punk blasts from their last two albums.
