This album pushed the term hardcore into our common vernacular and had a huge influence on the musical/social movement that followed. D.O.A.'s second album broke new ground and ripped fans and pundit's minds apart. Tracks like D.O.A., Slumlord and Unknown lash out at the listener, as well the incredible Fucked Up Baby and Smash the State just spear you right in the gut. This album has influenced three generations of fans and artists like: Rancid, Henry Rollins, Jello Biafra, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Green Day, NOFX and Sonic Youth, to name a few. Hardcore 81 captures that incredible lineup of Joey Shithead, Chuck Biscuits, Randy Rampage and Dave Gregg at the height of creative power. These four were indeed the pioneers of hardcore punk. The album is dedicated to memory of Randy Rampage and Dave Gregg. Long live Randy and Dave!
