On this album, the band goes back to its early roots and takes a few notes from their first two classic albums: “Something Better Change” and “Hardcore 81″. “Talk – Action = 0″ was produced by chief punk Joe Shithead Keithley and Chon (Live Free or Die).

Keithley, Canada’s godfather of punk, has teamed with his cronies Floor Tom Jones (drums) and Dirty Dan Sedan (bass) to come up with one of D.O.A.’s hardest hitting albums to date. On this lucky 13th full length, there’s plenty of what one might expect from the boys: power, politics and humor.

The album opens with the blistering track That’s Why I Am An Atheist, followed up by the Eddie Cochran inspired Rebel Kind. If you have ever doubted that D.O.A. has always been a barometer of the times we live in, check out the angry anthem Don’t Bank On A Bank and the all too timely
I Live In A Car…
