The European version of one of the most important albums in the history of the hardcore/punk.

DOA are godfathers and pioneers of the hardcore scene in Canada and notoriously known for traveling everywhere possible with their trusty and (probably. rusty) old Van. Their DIY spirit was so influential to many other young and freshly formed bands and span a whole scene in the US and also Europe because DOA continued to tour in places almost no other band did at that time. Including the "eastern block".

"Hardcore 81" is their second album in 1981. Probably the first album on which the term "hardcore" appeared. There are D.O.A. signature tracks (Fucked Up Baby, Smash The State, Slumlord etc), and the band performs in its most classic line-up: JOEY SHITHEAD, CHUCK BISCUITS, RANDY RAMPAGE and DAVE GREGG.

This record is the pearl and cornerstone of the hardcore punk scene – without it, there wouldn't be a lot of modern bands. The special edition for the 40th anniversary includes three bonus tracks from the singles: "Disco Sucks" (1978), "The Prisoner" (1978) and "Fucked Up Ronnie" (1981), and a large booklet with the history of the release of the album by vocalist Joey Shithad, and a lot of photos and flayers from this period.
