D.O.A. has always been at the forefront of political punk. And let me tell you, between the Eric Garner, Michael Brown and Trayvon Martin cases, we need D.O.A. now more than ever. In fact, D.O.A. has reacted to these situations with their brand new single, "The Cops Shot a Kid."

Punknews is pleased to debut the new song, where the band starts out with a low road-house guitar rumbling before exploding in that classic D.O.A. combination of rage and positivity. Frontman Joey Keithley sounds as sharp and impassioned as ever. Speaking to Punknews, the DOA frontman stated:

"I have been 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."

The single is off the band's upcoming album Hard Rain Falling, and you can order it here. You can hear the new song below and also check out their remaining tour dates.
