Caseyology is the sixth, fifth full-length, studio album by American punk rock band D.I., released in 2002 on Cleopatra Records. The title refers to the singer's his first name (Casey) and the word "ology" may be a reference to the word anthology. Despite the title, it's technically not a compilation album, but it does feature re-recordings and live versions of selected songs from the band's previous releases.

Punk rock is a rock music genre that developed in the mid-1970s in the United States, United Kingdom, and Australia. Rooted in 1960s garage rock and other forms of what is now known as "proto-punk" music, punk rock bands rejected perceived excesses of mainstream 1970s rock. They typically produced short, fast-paced songs with hard-edged melodies and singing styles, stripped-down instrumentation, and often political, anti-establishment lyrics. Punk embraces a DIY ethic; many bands self-produce recordings and distribute them through independent record labels and other informal channels.

D.I. is a Southern California punk band featuring ex-Adolescents and Social Distortion drummer Casey Royer on vocals. Royer formed the band with Rikk Agnew, after they left the original lineup of Social Distortion.

Cleopatra Records US record label; imprint of Cleopatra Records, Inc.

Cleopatra Records is a Los Angeles-based independent record label founded in 1992 by entrepreneur and music fan Brian Perera. It has since grown into a family of labels, including Hypnotic Records, Purple Pyramid Records, Deadline Music Records; and X-Ray Records, encompassing a variety of genres with emphasis on unique and experimental artists.

Much confusion has sprung up about the Caseyology album. It wasn't listed on their official website at the Wayback Machine (archived December 5, 2006), and the music press often referred to 2007's On the Western Front as the group's first release since State of Shock in 1994. Some sources list it as a compilation album.

On the Western Front is D.I.'s seventh full-length. Like their previous album Caseyology (2002), frontman Casey Royer is the only original member performing on this album. Work on the album began in 2004, but it was not released until 2007. The album was delayed numerous times before finally being completed in 2007. The reason for the delay was because of a touring schedule and record company problems before they signed Suburban Noize Records, who released this album.

<i>D.I.</i> (EP) 1983 EP by D.I.

D.I. is the eponymously titled debut EP by the American hardcore punk band D.I., released in 1983 through Revenge Records. It was recorded by the band's early lineup of Casey Royer, Rikk Agnew, Tim Maag, Derek O'Brien, Steve Roberts, and Frederic Taccone. The EP was re-released in 1987 by Triple X Records as Team Goon with four additional tracks: The first three—"Nuclear Funeral", "The Saint", and a cover version of Gary Glitter's "Rock and Roll Part II"—were recorded by the band's mid-1980s lineup of Royer, John Bosco, Steve Garcia, and brothers Rikk and Alfie Agnew, while the fourth—a cover version of Devo's "Uncontrollable Urge"—was recorded by the late-1980s lineup of Royer, Bosco, Steve Drt, Sean Elliott, and Hedge.

<i>Horse Bites Dog Cries</i> album by D.I.

Horse Bites Dog Cries is the second studio album by the American punk rock band D.I.. It was originally released in 1986, on the label Reject. The album was recorded at Casbah Studios in Fullerton, California in 1985 with Chaz Ramirez. Due to a typo on the album itself, many fans believe that it was released in 1985, but this appears to be false because its release was delayed until 1986 to avoid confusion with the band's then-current album Ancient Artifacts. Horse Bites Dog Cries was the final album featuring the Agnew brothers and drummer John Knight.
