We passingly mentioned Dillinger Escape Plan yesterday while talking about the very different metal crossovers Pig Destroyer and what they really do to earn a living. Here the Jersey boys are in the flesh with the spankin' new Ilan Sharone-directed video for Ire Works jam "Milk Lizard" (appropriately set in Milk Lizard bar). We've read a few pieces where the group discusses the importance of Faith No More (possibly reuniting?) burning a path in the mainstream for uncompromising metal crews: It'll be interesting to see how far DEP can go on the back of their catchier new tunes like this one and even more Faith-y "Black Bubblegum," of course. Who knows, flying barstools, hot punk chicks, kindness to the elderly, bad 3-D animation, and great songwriting go a long damn way. (via Headbanger's Blog)
Vocalist Greg Puciato is one buff motherfucker. Make sure to see this band live ... like ASAP. (And for those of you outside the US, we'll try to find an alternate embed ... like ASAP.)
Ire Works is out now on Relapse.
