The legendary album from Canadian band DOA is getting a new edition for its 40th anniversary! Released in 1981, Hardcore '81 introduced and popularized the term hardcore into everyday language. Sudden Death Records has restored the second album from these legendary Canadian punk pioneers to its original state. It comes with a 12-page booklet containing numerous photos and old-school flyers.
