New Dillinger Escape Plan Video - "Milk Lizard"

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.

"Ire Works" was easily the best album of last year.

And I totally agree on making their live-show a must see. Their recent Chicago show was out-motherfucking-standing.

Please, give us Europeans something to smile about too. All of these restrictions are annoying the hell out of me...

Since when were DEP a second-rate Every Time I Die ripoff?

"Since when were DEP a second-rate Every Time I Die ripoff?"

I was just wondering the same thing. They were the last band I would have expected to jump on that ridiculous southern rock/metalcore bandwagon.

Can't watch it outside of the States. So you KNOW it's good. :)

per the ETID comments: Go listen to the record. The majority of the songs are 2 minutes long and sound like calculating infinity tracks. God forbid they write one or two songs with a groove...

"The majority of the songs are 2 minutes long and sound like calculating infinity tracks."

I assumed that was the case, so good to hear! Also, this really isn't a bad song; it just surprised me.

Quit Your Day Job: Ungdomskulen

The Bergen trio Ungdomskulen play proggy post punk, mixing chops and hooks with a sense of humor. But they don't sound like Primus. When I was in Norway a couple years ago, "Ungdomskulen" seemed to be on everybody's lips (or...

Premature Evaluation: Beck - Modern Guilt

It's been some time since we learned Modern Guilt, Beck Hansen's eighth album, would be some sort of psych rock minimalist '60s trip with Danger Mouse. Since then, we've gotten a look at the old-school jazz/Blue Note-style cover art and...

Damien Jurado - "Murderer" (Low Cover)
