D.O.A. played a key role in bringing in the second wave of American punk. Their 1983 compilation, Bloodied But Unbowed, combines tracks from their first two albums, various singles, and other early - career releases. It's an excellent collection of early hardcore punk. The music here is faster and more energetic than their previous work. D.O.A. takes jabs at America in songs like 'Fucked Up Ronnie' and 'World War 3,' while most songs stick to the typical punk themes. They always had the status quo in their crosshairs. This is legendary hardcore punk material. It comes on a red vinyl pressing, with the music label being Alternative Tentacles 1983 / Let Them Eat Vinyl 2015. Reviewed by ninetwofour in 07/2015.
To use this vinyl LP, just place it on your turntable. Make sure the turntable is clean and in good working condition. Gently lower the tonearm onto the record to start playing. When handling the vinyl, hold it by the edges to avoid getting fingerprints on the playing surface. Keep the record in its sleeve when not in use to protect it from dust and scratches. Store it vertically in a cool, dry place to prevent warping. If you notice any dust on the record, use a soft, anti - static brush to clean it before playing.
