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.
What is there to say about this band? They simply defy description, but we'll give it a go - there's elements of punk, hardcore, post-rock, electronica, jazz and full on metal. It's an aural assault, but of the hippest, knowing kind, and in frontwoman Eva, they posess the most natural star to emerge from the UK underground in years. Hysterics was released on Hassle Records to huge critical acclaim in 2008.
