July 1985
D.O.A.
Let’s Wreck the Party
Genre: Punk….?
2.25 out of 5
I’ve run out of adjectives and simile. This is another band that’s lost the narrative. Relegated to the bargain bin of history. If they were relevant at one point they’ve realized they aren’t anymore and are trying to do…something. Covering “Singing in the Rain” is…an idea. One that Me First and the Gimme Gimmes will do so much better. One that Dead Kennedys paved with “Rawhide”. Here it just sits there. Like a big, gaping question mark.
Talk about a band that has no idea what it is anymore…is it punk? Is it glam? Is it thrash metal? Is it snot?
It’s all and more!
And they aren’t exceptional at any of it.
