DIP released their debut EP 'Cheapo Plastic Prize' late 1999, and whilst Daz had no qualms about openly confessing to being 'Scared 'o' Telephones', bassist Dean was unable to admit to his new found phobia for recording studios and shortly afterwards quit the band a quivering wreck never to be seen again. The CD however was met with positive reviews and DIP were asked to contribute two tracks to a compilation CD from the Badpenny record label.

From here the search was on for Dean's replacement and after what seemed like an age of bounding along as a three piece (with Daz and Craig sharing guitar and bass duties) the vacant position was filled by Rob Lane. DIP now had a whole new outlook, focusing on putting the fun back into live music and making their live shows as memorable as possible, as well as a fresh and unique comic book, cartoon onstage image which has allowed them to stand out from the endless stream of shoe gazing guitar bands.

With a strong and loyal fan base, affectionately known as the DIP ARMY, rapidly growing throughout the country due to gigs all over the UK and via their popular website 'OYAH?' Online, as well as endorsement from well rounded Radio 1 DJ Chris Moyles, the band headed back in the studio over summer 2002 to record their follow up EP 'GIZZAGOO - Be the Envy of your Friends'. Released in November on the bands own label F-Rydoff Recordings, the six track mini-album has been well received by the music press including reviews in Kerrang! and airplay on Total Rock Radio with its equal doses of guitar driven pop combined with dark and quirky slices of melody.
