OLD PUNKS STILL ROCK

Since 1982, D.R.I. have been taking the dictum “loud fast rules” as a challenge – and winning. Born from the same primordial slam pit muck that spawned aggro brethren like Corrosion of Conformity and Suicidal Tendencies, D.R.I. (aka Dirty Rotten Imbeciles) unleashed releases like 1981’s Violent Pacification 45 and ’87’s Crossover that blurred the lines between punk and metal, confusing some fans, pleasing others, and creating enough momentum for the band to, well, rock out in a bar in Mayport!
