The story of how Joey “Shithead” Keithley — frontman of the Canadian hardcore legends D.O.A. — pivoted from punk to politics is the focus of the upcoming documentary Something Better Change.
After four decades at the helm of the influential Vancouver punk band, Keithley entered the politics arena in 2018 in an effort to unseat the mayor of Burnaby, British Columbia. Despite a $7,000 campaign budget, the underdog Keithley ended up winning a city councillor seat, which in part helped end the mayor’s five-term reign.

Known as the place of free healthcare, politeness and saying "about" weird, you wouldn't initially think of Canada as a hotbed of punk rock, but for those of you dialed in, you already know the nation has laid claim to many legendary acts over the years (Nomeansno, D.O.A., Asexuals, The Diodes, Snfu, Subhumans etc.) and now Jay Baruchel, of all people, is going to help tell the story. The Habs-lovin' comic actor is set to lead "The Rebel Kind," a film based on the memoir "Guilty Of Everything" by The Modernettes frontman John Armstrong (aka Buck Cherry). The book weaves the tale of the Vancouver punk scene 1980s and Armstrong's encounters with a host of colorful characters including Joey Shithead, Dimwit, Chuck Biscuits, Mary Jo Kopechne, Art Bergmann and more.
