D.R.I. is a French hip-hop act known for their unique blend of hardcore and punk influences. With an authoritative tone and thought-provoking lyrics, they have established themselves as one of the most influential artists in the genre.

Similar to other bands like Cryptic Slaughter, M.O.D., and Excel, D.R.I.'s music is characterized by its aggressive sound and powerful energy. Drawing inspiration from acts such as Vio-Lence, Hirax, and Suicidal Tendencies, they have created a distinct style that resonates with fans around the world.

With a discography that includes albums like "Crossover" and "Thrash Zone," D.R.I. has solidified their place in the music industry. Their impact can be seen in the work of other notable bands such as Nuclear Assault, Toxic Holocaust, Whiplash, Municipal Waste, Sacred Reich, The Accüsed, Violator, Dark Angel, Sodom, Crumbsuckers, Destruction Exodus Tankard Razor.

Picking up where bands like Bad Brains, Cro-Mags and Dead Kennedy’s had left off, by the end of the 80’s, D.R.I. had built up a large fan base with their infusion of hardcore punk, thrash metal and attitude. Alongside their peers Suicidal Tendencies, M.O.D. and Stormtroopers of Death, D.R.I. helped to bring the crossover genre to the masses. This was not an instant process and the band worked endlessly and tirelessly in the sweat box dive bars of Texas releasing the strong and highly influential albums ‘Dealing With It!’, ‘Crossover’ and ‘4 Of A Kind’ before reaching their pinnacle of success with the their 1989 classic ‘Thrash Zone’.
