FEATURES

THE DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN
http://www.metalupdate.com/interviewdep.html

Don't call what this New Jersey-area quintet does extreme; leave the pizza joints, video game ads and arena motorcross events to slobber over that word. One listen to Dillinger is like watching some TLC docudrama about the devastating impact of natural disasters. In this feature donated by Relapse's Resound Music Resource Guide, guitarist Ben Weinman treats us to an in-depth look at the current state of the band.
