D.R.I.: 4 of a Kind Vinyl LP

By 1992, D.R.I. had already done more for the crossover thrash template than most bands manage in a career. 4 of a Kind arrived as the Houston hardcore institution leaned harder into the thrash side of the equation, and the arguments it started in zines at the time have never really ended.

Dirty Rotten Imbeciles were one of the bands that made crossover a legitimate genre rather than a insult, dragging hardcore kids into the pit alongside metalheads at a time when those two worlds still eyed each other with suspicion. 4 of a Kind is the sound of that negotiation playing out in real time, aggressive and fast, heavy enough to satisfy the Suicidal Tendencies crowd and precise enough to please anyone who came up through Municipal Waste and Cro-Mags. Essential crossover thrash history on wax.

Vinyl LP.
