SG Radio feat. Greg Puciato of The Dillinger Escape Plan0

by Nicole Powers

This week on SuicideGirls Radio our very special in-studio guest will be Greg Puciato, frontman of punk rock metal band The Dillinger Escape Plan. The ultimate fan turned pro, Puciato originally joined the group after they went public with a talent search following the departure of singer Dimitri Minakakis. Puciato sent in a CD-R, and after an in-person audition joined the group. He first performed with them in New York during CMJ in 2001. Six years later, in a Revolver Magazine poll, he was voted one of the “37 greatest metal frontmen” of all time.

Greg Puciato / The Dillinger Escape Plan
Named after notorious depression era bank robber and jail breaker John Dillinger, The Dillinger Escape Plan harnesses the cumulative power and vision of guitarist Ben Weinman, vocalist Greg Puciato, bassist Liam Wilson, guitarist Jeff Tuttle and new drummer Billy Rymer.

From their early days in the late-’90s as short-haired Rutgers, New Jersey, college students delivering hyper-complex thrash to audiences of boorish long-haired surly metalheads, to performing with Nine Inch Nails on the pioneering electronic band’s farewell shows, the Dillinger Escape Plan have merely one prerogative: to go forward in ALL directions simultaneously.

Their latest release, Option Paralysis marks the beginning of another trajectory in the DEP mythology. Produced by Steve Evetts, Dillinger’s new music is positively abundant with possibilities. As passionate about their craft as ever, DEP are looking to ramp up things even more in 2010, with a planet-beating touring campaign that includes basement shows, a stint on the main stage at this summer’s Vans Warped Tour, a performance at the legendary Coachella festival, and various points in between.
