Death In Custody is a four-piece old school-influenced hardcore band from Detroit, Michigan that plays music in the vein of old school stalwarts such as Negative Approach, Agnostic Front and Warzone.

The band released a self-titled four-song demo in November 2002, which the Windy City Webzine described as having an “old school hardcore feel,” while additional reviews in Guillotine and Heart Attack confirm the intensity of D.I.C.’s old school appeal, with Guillotine saying, “they are definitely worth checking out.” The band released another demo in 2003, Most Of Our Friends Are Pretentious Assholes, to excellent reviews and last year released a self-titled EP, Death In Custody.

In 2005, the band released another demo, Death In Custody, which Guillotine zine called “6 new songs to thoroughly burn down the hood with.” “My Question?” asked the Guillotine reviewer, “WHY AREN'T THESE GUYS PLAYING SHOWS IN NYC?!” Calihardcore.com said, “definitely check these guys out if you're into classic old school style hardcore,” while Bystander fanzine called it one of the better demos they’ve seen. Heartattack thought the band “did a great job” with the demo, calling it “old school hardcore done right.”

Despite current trends in the punk/hardcore scene, D.I.C. plays the music they’ve always loved whether it’s popular or not. Remaining true to themselves and to their music, D.I.C. is helping keep alive the spirit of old school hardcore.
