The hardcore punk five-piece the Dillinger Escape
Plan formed in 1997 as an act against typical pop music and an aim
to redefine punk. Originally starting off as a trio with guitarist Ben
Weinman, vocalist Dimiitri Minakakis,
and drummer Chris Pennie, the Dillinger
Escape Plan began playing basements and house parties in order to get their
name around. Bassist Adam Doll soon joined
and the band set out to compose their own material, finally issuing the
independent self-titled mini-album.
Their live shows were notoriously energetic and this caught the eye of former
Jesuit guitarist Brian
Benoit, who was asked to join in 1998 after original guitarist John
had left the band the previous year. "Under
the Running Board" EP was issued in fall 1998, with Calculating
Infinity and a tour with Mr. Bungle
following in 1999. A self-titled third album appeared in summer 2000. As
2001 rolled around, the band was faced with the departure of Minakakis,
forcing them to put their new material on hold while searching for a new
singer. They recorded an EP with Fantomas
leader Mike Patton and eventually found
their replacement in Greg Puciato.
