"Welcome to Reality" was released that October but was not well received. "It went over like a lead balloon and we threw in the towel", said Brandenburg. After the breakup, Brandenburg formed a new band, the Abandoned, who released one album, "Killed by Faith" (1985). Soto and Frank Agnew joined Los Angeles punk band Legal Weapon, playing on their 1982 album "Death of Innocence"; Agnew remained with them for "Your Weapon", released later that year, then moved on to Hvy Drt, playing on their 1985 "Hvy Drt" EP. Royer, meanwhile, started D.I., taking on the role of singer. He was joined by Roberts, Rikk Agnew, and former Social Distortion drummer Derek O'Brien for the "D.I." EP (1983). Agnew then brought in his younger brother, Alfie Agnew, and the two remained in D.I. until 1987, playing on the albums "Ancient Artifacts" (1985) and "Horse Bites Dog Cries" (1986), and the "Team Goon" EP (1987).
