=== Later years and second hiatus (2003–2013) ===
In 2003, Vancouver Mayor [[Larry Campbell]] declared December 21 to be "D.O.A. Day" in honour of the band's 25th anniversary.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.straight.com/article-69929/d-o-a-s-punk-veterans-won-t-give-up-the-fight|title=D.O.A.'s punk veterans won't give up the fight|access-date=May 20, 2007|publisher=The Georgia Straight|first=John|last=Lucas|date=February 7, 2007 }}</ref>   In the same year, the band released a career-spanning retrospective entitled ''War And Peace''. 2004 found the band releasing the ska-flavoured ''Live Free or Die''. In 2006, Randy Rampage rejoined D.O.A. for his 3rd stint in the band.

The line-up remained stable until 2008, when The Great Baldini left the band to be replaced by new drummer James Hayden.  Also in 2008, it was announced that [[Bob Rock]], of [[Metallica]] fame would be producing the band's next album in time for their 30th anniversary.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.punknews.org/article/27566|title=D.O.A. recording with Bob Rock|website=Punknews.org|access-date=August 16, 2018}}</ref> James Hayden quit before D.O.A. started to record to be replaced by Floor Tom Jones.  In September 2008, D.O.A. released ''Northern Avenger'' and embarked on their 30th anniversary tour.  On the eve of the tour, it was announced that Randy Rampage was being replaced by Dan Yaremko once again.

D.O.A. played several dates in the summer of 2009 as part of the Van's Warped Tour 2009.

On May 1, 2010, D.O.A. released their fourteenth full-length album ''Talk Minus Action = Zero'' (a similarly titled live album ''Talk Minus Action Equals Zero'' had previously been released in 1990). Drummer Jesse Pinner (of the band Raised by Apes) took the place of Floor Tom Jones beginning on D.O.A.'s subsequent August 2010 tour due to Floor Tom Jones' commitments to his job at [[Canada Post]].<ref name="raised">{{Cite web |url=http://blogs.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendId=22342223&blogId=538222802 |title="Pincher is going across canada with punkrock legends D.O.A." on the "Raised by Apes" blog |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090207065936/http://blogs.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view |archive-date=February 7, 2009 }}</ref>
