Coming out of the streets of Fullerton California, DI was formed in the shadows of The Adolescents back in 1983 in a studio behind a pawn shop. The Adolescents, Social Distortion, Agent Orange and several other local early punk rock pioneers were the breeding ground from which DI was born. DI branded their own form of punk rock that complemented the Orange County Punk scene in sound and attitude. DI was thrown to the forefront after the band performed “Richard Hung Himself” with the original line up that recorded the bands first EP in the 1984 movie, “Suburbia”, directed by Penelope Spheeris who’s previous production was “Decline of Western Civilization.” When the band went through a line up change after the first EP titled Team Goon, members of emerging Fullerton band Almost 21 became the backbone for the sound that DI is known for today. During that line up change, front man Casey Royer known for his cutting and outrageous social commentary through humor is joined by Rikk Agnew of The Adolescents on guitar. Rikk brought to DI a handful of songs written in previous years, such as “Falling Out” and “OC Life” which were featured on Rikk Agnew’s solo album, “All By Myself” and were made wildly popular though Casey Royer’s style and personality.
