The Dillinger Escape Plan is a band from Morris Plains, New Jersey. The band performs a fast-tempo, technically proficient style of music popularly known as mathcore. The band recorded their second EP with Relapse Records in 1998 entitled Under the Running Board. A year later, this was followed with the album Calculating Infinity, which was met with great acclaim from both underground and mainstream press. The band were renowned in the hardcore scene for the intensity of their performances, which have at times incorporated spectacular light shows, fireworks, fire breathing, and other special effects.
While the band’s lineup has changed over the years, in part due to a variety of injuries, guitarist Ben Weinman and former drummer Chris Pennie have been present in many of the lineups. After the departure of vocalist Dimitri Minakakis in 2000, the band held a nationwide search and selected Greg Puciato as the new singer. The band has since released two full length albums with Puciato on vocals: 2004’s Miss Machine and 2007’s Ire Works.
Early years (1996–1998)
The band’s beginnings can be traced back to a hardcore band called Arcane. Previous to Arcane, Adam Doll, John Fulton and Chris Pennie played together in the bands Samsara and Malfactor from 1992–1997. Managed by longtime friend Tom Apostolopoulos and guitarist Ben Weinman, Arcane recorded a self-titled demo under the name The Dillinger Escape Plan which Now or Never Records offered to release on CD. Shortly before their first tour under the new name, guitarist Derek Brantley left the group and was replaced by John Fulton.

@homestar2525, you're a complete moron. You have absolutely no clue why Dillinger is so good if you enjoy them because they're heavy. Oh and it's to, not 'two', dumb fuck.

I think this shoutbox needs some video digressions just to give it something new to talk about. Both are Greg performing with the Deftones during the recent 'One Love for Chi' concerts: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PhyRjAveI0w (Passenger) and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8RFFRKk9zec (cover of Battery by Metallica with Rob of Metallica, Alexi of Children of Bodom, and Daron and Shavo from System of a Down)

I'm so sick of people like stars who seem to think they're impressing everyone with their "I'm so tr00" bullshit. Everyone knows DEP sounds different than they did TEN FUCKING YEARS AGO. Everyone knows they have had member changes. You are not in on some secret that noboddy else is aware of. If you want to listen to bands that don't evolve listen to some straightforward generic hardcore bands who have been releasing the same album over and over for 15 years. Seriously, you know what that says about a band when they don't evolve over a long period of time? Unimaginative assholes.

what is it with people hating on ire works? it's so breakthrough. why can't some people accept when a band changes, especially when they become more unique and creative. Just because ire works is less heavy and more experimental than calulating infinity doesn't make it any less of an album.

stars, quit being a cunt. Calculating Infinity IS their best album, but Ire Works and Miss Machine are still fantastic. Greg Puciato has amazing vocals.
