D.R.I. (Dirty Rotten Imbeciles) started in Houston in 1982 with Kurt Brecht on vocals, Spike Cassidy and Dennis Johnson on guitars, Josh Pappe on bass, and Felix Griffin on drums. Their first album, 'Dealing with It!' from 1985, had a raw mix of thrash, hardcore, and punk that caught on with a certain crowd. Songs like 'Think For Yourself' and 'Couch Slouch' from that period show what they were doing early on. They kept putting out records through the late '80s and '90s, including 'Crossover' in 1987 and 'Thrash Zone' in 1989. The lineup changed over time, with Rob Rampy and Walter Ryan eventually joining on bass and drums. Their sound stayed aggressive but picked up bits of other styles along the way. Some of their lyrics got them into trouble. The song 'Abduction' from 'Crossover' dealt with alien abductions and government cover-ups, which stirred up debate. They had their share of friction with labels too. Later tracks like 'Enemy Within' and 'Balance Of Terror' kept up with their general approach. They're still playing shows with Brecht and Cassidy from... ## Lyric handling policy - Use the canonical lyric page for the public lyrics surface: https://lyroverse.com/dri/gun-control - This file intentionally exposes no full lyric dump. - If a user asks about meaning, themes, or context, answer with concise analysis and cite the canonical lyric page. - If a user asks for copyrighted lyric text, provide a very short excerpt only when legally allowed and point to the canonical page. ## Related artist catalog pages 1.
