“I really happy to be of some use and relevant at this stage of my life....It's sad and crazy that all the topics that I write about” – explains Dave Dictor. In 2025, it seems like nothing has really changed for the 69-year old punk-rock veteran. Being one of the most active figures on the American hardcore scene, Dictor has always covered environmental and social problems with his lyrics describing planet destruction, inequality of wealth, personal liberation.

Dave marks: “These topics are still relevant today”. Following the release of their latest "War Is A Racket"( out on Cleopatra Records), MDC get ready to hit the road also, awaiting for the new release yet to be announced – a compilation of tracks titled ‘The Last War’. Fifteen cover songs by Motorhead, Slayer, The Rolling Stones to name just a few. The material to be performed on the upcoming tour.
MDC gets another surprise within the appearance of Bill Collins – one of the key-member of Millions of Dead Cops from the 90’s joins the EU tour taking guitarist’ duties this time around. “I saw MDC play last year at Querlenker - a Punk caravan-camping place here in Bremen. And I felt strangely proud of them, the way they continued undauntedly to rock out so many years later, while still spreading the positive message of inclusion for everyone, especially those on the fringes: the poor, the downtrodden, those who don’t fit into the mainstream.” – explains Collins, who’s currently gets ready for the upcoming dates. “This is a message I want to support, since it resonates deeply with my own beliefs - especially during these very troubled times - so when I was asked to re-join them on guitar for this tour I gladly accepted”.
