Randy Rampage - Biography
Randall Archibald (born 1960), better known as Randy Rampage, is a founding member, bass player and occasional vocalist of the Canadian hardcore band D.O.A.. He played on D.O.A.'s seminal early punk albums Something Better Change and Hardcore '81, along with vocalist/guitarist Joe Shithead, drummer Chuck Biscuits and guitarist Dave Gregg in Hardcore '81. Rampage left D.O.A. in 1981 but returned in the year 2000 after a nearly two-decade absence.
He played on their 2002 Win the Battle album but then left the band again. He rejoined D.O.A. in 2007, remained in the lineup through 2008 and was featured on their latest album, Northern Avenger, produced by Bob Rock. On the eve of the Northern Avenger tour, it was announced that Rampage was leaving D.O.A. once again.
In 2013, following an appearance at the San Francisco, CA Punk Homecoming Festival, bassist Bitz and drummer Pinhead left the band. The duo's departure made way for seasoned professionals to join including former The Real McKenzies bassist Brent Johnson, Kick Axe lead singer "Danny Nargang" and former D.O.A. drummer "The Great Baldini". The current lineup is due to start recording several new tracks including "Dopesick", rumoured to be a sad legacy of Duane and Randy's lifelong battles with addiction to various substances. The band has already received accolades from the press and are writing more new material.
