In 1979, DOA teamed up with Ron Obvious and Bob Rock at a midnight-to-6:00-A.M. studio session at Vancouvers Little Mountain Sound to record and mix, on a shoestring budget, what is arguably one of the top ten punk rock singles of all time.Penned by guitarist / singer Joey Shithead and drummer Chuck Biscuits, and helped along by bassist Randy Rampage, "World War 3" really hit the mark for the times, starkly criticizing the US-Soviet nuclear arms race. Sadly, 37 years later things in the world are not any better. Music can still speak the truth.The B-side "Whatcha Gonna Do?" features Biscuits' all-star drumming and Shitheads songwriting in a Jamaican-inspired departure for the young DOA. Sudden Death is proud to rerelease this gem by Canadas punk pioneers on vinyl for the first time in 37 years in a strictly limited edition.
