DRI, which stands for Dirty Rotten Imbeciles, is a crossover thrash metal band, forming in 1981. Originating from Houston, their style of heavy metal is a combonation of punk, rock, trash, speed metal to be called hardcore punk. Another pioneering band that influenced many bands, is still playing to the time of this writing. I seen DRI in Rhode Island back in 1990. Was a great show and seeing what the definition of diving off PA stacks was all about. My favorite songs include "I don't need society", Suit and tie guy", "Acid Rain", "Thrash Hard" and "Drown you out".
