DYS were a hardcore punk band from Boston, Massachusetts, formed in 1983. The band were part of the "Boston Crew" in the 1980s, along with contemporaries such as SSD and Negative FX.
DYS took their name from the Department Of Youth Services, a Massachusetts governmental organization where delinquent youth were housed, as well as the Alice Cooper song "Department Of Youth".
The band preached a passionate belief in drug-free living and the idea that a shared musical and social taste could help create regional brotherhoods or crews.
DYS were one of the first hardcore punk bands to take a turn into the realm of heavy metal, helping to define and shape "crossover" in the same way they influenced straight-up hardcore punk. The band broke up in 1985.
