The Dirty Rotten Imbeciles’ history begins on May 2nd, 1982 around 4 PM, in the city of Houston, TX. It was on this day that the musically aggressive quartet we now know as D.R.I. made their first Dirty Rotten noise and called it a song. After six releases along the years, D.R.I.'s latest effort Full Speed Ahead came out in 1995 and now the band is set to unleash a new 5-song EP on June 10th, being so their first release in over 20 years.

D.R.I. has been cited by many metal and punk musicians worldwide as an influence on their own music, including Slayer, Anthrax, Dark Angel, Municipal Waste, Kreator, Death Angel, Vio-Lence, Nuclear Assault and Cryptic Slaughter.

For the past 33 years, D.R.I. has been the epitome of the aggressive, hardcore-punk thrash sound that we've all become accustomed to hearing. Throughout this time, they've been one of the few genuine underground bands to remain true to their pure punk roots. Still actively touring, recording and thrashing just as hard, and just as loud as ever, continuing to overload our senses with the sound that is, and will always remain, uniquely D.R.I.

D.R.I. has been playing an average of 90 shows a year lately around the world. A list of upcoming shows can be found here.

D.R.I. are:

Spike Cassidy – guitars (1982–present)
Kurt Brecht – vocals (1982–present)
Harald Oimoen – bass guitar (1999–present)
Walter "Monsta" Ryan – drums (2015–present)
