Dirty Rotten Imbeciles (also known as D.R.I.) are a crossover thrash band that formed in 1982.
The band never gained any mainstream audience, but were an influence on their contemporaries — most notably Suicidal Tendencies, Corrosion of Conformity, and S.O.D. — alongside whom they are considered the early pioneers of the sound that would later be called crossover thrash. This genre was also coined from their 1987 album Crossover.
Although the band is still active today, the only new material D.R.I. have released since their 1995 album, Full Speed Ahead, was a web-only demo release of the track "Against Me" in 2004.

Prolly one of the greatest punk bands that ever did it. They're right up there with classic COC (Animosity, and I saw them on tour with DRI back then in NYC), Poison Idea, Ramones, pre-Rollins Flag, Bad Brains, etc. Dealing With It is one of the best punk LPs ever cut to wax. Hearing them do it live makes me feel like a 16 y/o again. Those were the days, my friends....
