Houston's D.R.I. helped invent the crossover between hardcore punk and thrash metal before anyone had a name for it, and the *Dirty Rotten LP* is where the blueprint was drawn. Originally self-released in 1983 as a cassette, these 22 tracks hit like a freight train, clocking in under 18 minutes total. Raw, fast, and unapologetically DIY, it remains one of the most influential documents in American underground music.
