"Orange County punk rock legends, D.I, are back with On the Western Front – a hard-hitting album with often-dark social commentary. Eleven of the album’s 12 tracks were written by bassist Eddie Tatar and vocalist (and only original/constant member) Casey Royer"
- David Jablinsky, About.com (Jul 31, 2007)
"Tatar’s nimble bass lines, along with his brother Joe’s powerful drumming make for a rock solid rhythm section, while chckn (LOL)and Clinton Calton form a fierce guitar team. With the musically and lyrically solid On the Western Front, D.I. proves that old punks can still have something to say."
- David Jablinsky, About.com (Jul 31, 2007)
"This is the first album (out of eight studio ones) done with current lineup. The CD reminds me of a fleet of speeding monster trucks on a rainy turnpike, as they deftly avoid danger driving mightly and madly to their overnight destination. You will enjoy the ride!"
- Carl Macki, PunkGlobe.com (Aug 14, 2007)
"This is how hardcore used to be before the big labels and big money got involved -fast and furious, down and dirty. Put this up against Sum 41, Rise Against, or whatever bullshit it is that people listen to nowadays and it is hilarious. Highly recommended. O.C. is burning......rock on Casey."
- Mike from Medina, OH, Interpunk.com (Feb 02, 2008)
"If you like your punk short and sweet, then this CD really is something you need to have in your collection. Any fan of Guttermouth, the Offspring, TSOL, or punk rock music in general owes it to themselves to check what D.I. is up to all these years later."
- Diesel, Deviant Nation (Nov 02, 2007)
"Welcome back to the realm of the realm of the slightly more living. D.I. (yes, the legendary OC punk band) is back with a new release. "On The Western Front" builds on their solid foundation of fundamental SoCal suburban punk angst."
- Jerry Actually, upstarter.com (Feb 06, 2008)
"This album kicks ass! It rips from the opening song(On the western front) and keeps on ripping till its done."
- Brian from Portland, ME, Interpunk.com (Mar 30, 2008)
