After forty-five years of leading legendary Vancouver punks D.O.A., the man they call Joey Shithead aka Joe Keithley, has a new solo album out on Sudden Death Records - but don't worry, D.O.A. is still touring!

"STAND" has a rootsy, rebellious tone, as Keithley combines acoustic and electric guitar on this timely and politically charged album. Many have compared Keithley to a modern day Woody Guthrie or Pete Seeger because he has spent a lifetime standing up for what's right through his music and through his actions - "STAND" befits that ethic and long-held tradition.

The songs cover a wide range of emotions. There's timely political stuff which really hits the mark, and he also covers songs from his idols Johnny Cash, Leadbelly and Stompin' Tom Connors.

On "STAND", one gets a wide array of Keithley's talents: from his vocals that have never covered such a wide range, to his sterling guitar playing, to his powerful songwriting ability. To make sure the album had the right tone, Keithley got the right people to accompany him.
