THE DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN: In Writing Mode

October 7, 2006

THE DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN has posted an update on the progress of the songwriting sessions for its new studio album at its MySpace page. A couple of excerpts follow:

"We are far into the writing of our new CD. Everyone is living and breathing this record 24/7 and we're all excited. We spend most of our time holed up in a couple different DILLINGER living/writing spots, including an underground lair and a house with an interior that resembles the one from 'Fight Club', rarely coming outside or even being awake during daylight hours for that matter, living like little rats. We only come out for Dunkin Donuts or 24-hour grocery stores at 3am.

"Rest assured, the album will come out much sooner than our previous track record would indicate. We appreciate everyone's patience... Good things come to those who wait. Uh... unless you're waiting for the new GUNS N' ROSES record, which apparently is coming out November 21st, 'cause that shit is gonna be an abomination, mark my words. I hope I'm wrong, but seriously, since Slash rolled the fuck out, braided Axl imposter guy has had not only a guy who wears a chicken bucket on his head filling in for him but about 30 other dorks too. None of whom have magical top hats that somehow never fall off and none of whom have a cool name like Slash or even Corpsefucker, for that matter. The forecast is here and the outlook is decidedly GRIM. Get Adler back and stop dicking around."

THE DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN recently released a digital-only EP, entitled "Plagiarism". The EP features "Unretrofied" (from "Miss Machine"),interpretations of NINE INCH NAILS' "Wish", MASSIVE ATTACK's "Angel", SOUNDGARDEN's "Jesus Christ Pose" and JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE's "Like I Love You", as well as previously unreleased live material. Many of these covers have been heard during the band's live sets over the past several years but remained unrecorded until this EP. "Plagiarism" is available exclusively via iTunes.
