Talk - Action = Zero: An Illustrated History of D.O.A. - Softcover

They rock out. They blow the roof off. Some of the best shows I've ever seen in my life were D.O.A. gigs. I've never seen them not be amazing. --Henry Rollins (Black Flag)

The proper medicine growing young minds need. --Jello Biafra (Dead Kennedys)

Joey Shithead casts a long shadow. --John Doe (X)

They've changed a lot of people's lives. --David Grohl (Nirvana, Foo Fighters)

D.O.A. inspired me and many others with their integrity and musical precision for many years to follow. A true legendary punk band. And pretty good hockey players too ... for Canadians. --Greg Hetson (Circle Jerks)

A document that is both an eye-popping tome and a chronological account of the rise and fall (and rise again) of one of punk music's most important acts, from the beginnings of the hardcore movement to becoming the first "political" band to tour China. Named after the band's iconic motto, "Talk - Action = 0" is a book that can be flipped through for its stunning visual value alone or can be pored over thanks to Keithley's narration throughout. --"Vancouver Sun"

A treasure trove of material for anyone who has ever considered themselves a D.O.A. fan ... Starting from the early days, "Talk - Action = 0" chronicles the long and storied history of one of [Canada]'s most important bands ever. --"Georgia Straight"

You have to love a punk rock book full of pictures. While words work well to tell a band's story, illustrations of DIY concert posters, scribbled set lists, and candid photos from the van capture and frame the zeitgeist that was partially defined by those images. That's why this history of the Canadian hard-core punk band D.O.A. feels so right ... This history's scrapbook approach is like D.O.A.'s music--vital and virile. --"Library Journal"
