D.R.I., or Dirty Rotten Imbeciles, is an iconic crossover thrash band hailing from Houston, Texas. Formed in 1982, the group is recognized for blending elements of hardcore punk and thrash metal, contributing to the development of the crossover genre.
The core lineup consists of brothers Kurt (vocals/guitar) and Eric Brecht (drums), Spike Cassidy (guitar), and Harald Oimoen (bass). D.R.I. quickly gained prominence with their fast, aggressive, and abrasive style, marked by politically charged lyrics and energetic stage performances.
Their debut album, "Dirty Rotten LP," released in 1983, established D.R.I. as a major force in the hardcore and thrash scenes. The band followed up with albums like "Dealing with It!" (1985) and "Crossover" (1987), solidifying their status as pioneers of crossover thrash.
D.R.I. has had a significant influence on numerous punk, thrash, and metal bands. Their sharp music, combined with a DIY (Do It Yourself) attitude, helped shape the aesthetics of punk and thrash in the '80s and beyond. With a career spanning several decades, D.R.I. remains a stalwart in the aggressive music landscape.
