DYS

DYS

Formed at ground zero of Boston’s tough-as-nails straight edge hardcore scene, DYS rose out of SS Decontrol’s Boston Crew, and grew into one of the city’s top draws. Their debut album „Brotherhood“ was released by X-Claim records. Adding a second guitar player, DYS progressed into early Metal cross-over with their self-titled second album, released on Modern Method.

DYS has been featured in the film adaptation and book „American Hardcore,” the documentary “ xxx All Ages xxx” the books „Radio Silence,“ „Fucked up and Photocopied,“ „Straight Edge Youth“ and „All Ages“ among others.

After a long hiatus, DYS reformed in 2010 to play the Gallery East ‚xxx All Ages xxx‘ festival and movie shoot, headlining in front of more than 1,000 young and old fans. That show led to a music and merchandise deal with Bridge 9 Records, spawning a live album, “More than Fashion: Live from the Gallery East Reunion” as well as a series of new Digital Singles. Since reforming, and locking down an all-star line-up, the band has played top punk/hardcore festivals in the US and Europe as well as most of the biggest media markets in America and Western Europe.
