D.O.A. is not only Canada's most important
punk band; they're also one of
punk's most enduring bands, period. While many of the
punk acts that emerged in the late '70s broke up in the '80s -- that is, if they even stayed together until then --
D.O.A. was still going strong well into the '90s. Recorded at
Club Soda in
D.O.A.'s native Vancouver in 1989,
Talk Minus Action Equals Zero is among the albums that demonstrate how exciting and vital the Canadians can be on-stage. The lineup on this CD consists of singer
Joey "Shithead" Keithley, guitarist
Chris "Humper" Prohom, bassist
Brian Roy Goble, and drummer
Jon Card. Together they prove quite riveting on such left-leaning, angrily socio-political rants as
"Fuck You," "General Strike," "Liar for Hire," and
"Race Riot." This performance was recorded 11 years after
D.O.A.'s formation, and it's clear that the band softened their blow very little during those years.
