This band was of an amateur nature, however, and the first professional success came to Yuriy in 1982, a year after he graduated art school, for his performance at the Gold Camerton festival, with his underground band, DDT.
The biting satire of DDT's lyrics has outraged the communist government of the time - and the band has often gotten into political scandals.    The political persecution took a more serious turn as Yuriy was getting ready to write a new album in 1985.
DDT's first major-label album couldn't materialize until the more lenient government practices of Gorbachev in the late 80`s.

 Afrikan Eye   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
DDT is an organochlorine that persists in the environment long after use, accumulating in the food chain and in fatty tissues of animals and humans.
Add to this the fact that DDT is concentrated in breast milk because it is lipophilic and the secretion of stored DDT into milk is the main route for excretion of DDT in lactating women.
Thus it appears that DDT may have the potential to cause genotoxic effects (toxic effects to genes) in humans, but does not appear to be strongly mutagenic (cause mutations).

Although musically eclectic (but leaning towards hard rock), DDT's style was immediately recognizable because of Shevchuk's trademark hoarse voice and passionate singing, somewhat reminiscent of legendary bard Vladimir Vysotsky. Like...

 The History of Rock Music. DDT: biography, discography, reviews, links   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
DDT is a bunch of witty Canadian punks (singer Brian Howes, rapper Cory Perry White, drummer Bobby James, and guitarist Mike MacKay, all based in Vancouver) who play an amusing and punchy super-fusion of punk-rock, funk, rap, metal, reggae, ska, They finally debuted, seven year after forming, with the 7-song EP Lotgoop (1995).
The band's punk roots (accounting for the emphatic riff of guitar and keyboards and the epic choral refrain of Hey Steve) are made to coexist with rap/funk/metal workouts like Walkabout and reggae-punk hybrids like Blue Hair Crime.
A few blunders (the ska ballad Liquid and the generic AOR of Pistol Whip are clear sell-outs) obscure the numerous nods to 1970s' decadent rock (Unsaid quotes Aerosmith and Mott The Hoople) that would instead add appeal to their melange and obscure the comic overtones of the best tracks (like the ska-punk vaudeville sketch Overripe).

"Urban Observer," the debut album by the Canadian five-man band "DDT," is a wildly gyrating amalgum of post-grunge alternative rock and roll.
"DDT" is the first band signed to Lars Ulrich's vanity label The Music Company, owned by Elektra Entertainment.
Now, I'm sure the album ending "Hounds" make perfect sense to the guys in "DDT." "Hounds" is a silly drunken recording of dog moans and howls that is not actually a song at all.

 DDT: Urban Observer Aversion.com Review
Sporting an incredibly driving rhythm section, DDT’s songs are built on a solid foundation, though the band’s contorted mix of styles renders the band’s knack for rhythm moot.
Despite its overly ambitious directions, DDT manages to cleanly pull it together in the band’s lead single, "Walkabout." Playing up its blue-ribbon rhythm section and tossing out an unavoidably catchy hook, "Walkabout" has the elements to earn it both radio and club rotation.
In fact, the band, covered head-to-toe in mud on the back cover of the album looks like refugees from one of the most annoying of the Surge commercials, only helping to strengthen this link.

From the promo: "By unpacking the finest elements of their ska, punk, rap and rock influences, DDT have rejuvenated the dynamic power pop institution." Behind the supermall of influences and press hyperbole is musicianship which lends a legitimacy to this claim.
DDT's arrangements are similarly tight (aided by veteran producer Matt Wallace), their music is punchy and upbeat, and their lyrics are provocative, positive, and humorous.
is an auspicious sign of future success for both band and label.

Most 25 year old performers would be pacing backstage, nervously peeking from behind the dressing room door to see what kind of crowd was filing in for the show.
But when you've played on a Replacements album by the time you were 12, and your band is mentored by living blues legend R.L. Burnside, you take things in stride.
Dickinson eventually turns his attention from the menu of the Brandy House, where his band is playing tonight in Atlanta, to the tape recorder as he retraces he and drummer brother Cody's musical transformation from a teenaged alternative rock band to a jug band to the current buzz of the underground, the North Mississippi All-Stars.
