  • The Dicks are an American punk rock band from Austin, Texas, originally formed in 1980. They initially disbanded in 1986 before reforming in 2004. The Dicks are considered influential in introducing the sound of hardcore punk and incorporating blues rock influences into their sound. The band went through two distinct incarnations in the early 1980s, changing its lineup when singer Gary Floyd moved from Austin to San Francisco in 1983. A version of its original lineup was revived when the band reunited in 2004. As a politically radical band with socialist lyrics during the Reagan era, they did not shy from controversy. Floyd was one of a handful of openly gay musicians in the 1980s hardcore scene.
  • I The Dicks sono una punk band americana considerata fondamentale per la nascita dell'hardcore punk, soprattutto nel loro stato, il Texas; il gruppo incorpora anche elementi blues rock nel suo stile ed è caratterizzata da testi apertamente marxisti. Il cantante Gary Floyd fu uno dei primi musicisti della scena hardcore a dichiararsi apertamente omosessuale, insieme con Randy Turner dei Big Boys e Dave Dictor degli MDC. Il pezzo più noto della band è indubbiamente Hate the Police, eseguito come cover dal noto gruppo grunge Mudhoney ed inserito nella raccolta Superfuzz Bigmuff Plus Early Singles.
