D.O.A. Streams New Song “The Cops Shot a Kid (Gonna Be a Riot)”
I, Shithead himself, Joe Keithley, (and the rest of his band), D.O.A., just released a new single today called The Cops Shot a Kid (Gonna Be A Riot). The track is the first single from D.O.A.’s upcoming album Hard Rain Falling out soon via Sudden Death Records.
The single is in response to the Ferguson and Baltimore riots. Keithley commented:
“I am outraged by the deaths of unarmed suspects at the hands of various police forces in the USA. Of course I realize that there are a lot of good cops that do a difficult job every day, but some of the recent killing sure looks like it’s rooted in racism. So I wrote this song about these injustices and the inevitable reaction that will likely follow from the folks in that neighborhood Police should be wearing body cams while on duty. Look at it this way if it weren’t for bystanders with cell phones, the public would be not seen what had happened and the truth could have been severely impeded.”
D.O.A. also has some tour dates left so check them out below.
Thursday May 14th – Big Dipper, Spokane, WA
Friday May 15th – Highline, Seattle, WA
Saturday May 16th – Emerald of Siam, Richland, WA
