Aye so at the start of the year we thought we were absolutely capable of make our episodes a bit more concise. We were wrong. Sorta.

One of the few good things to come out of lockdown is that we can spend more time researching and then talking about artists. PJ Harvey is a good example of that, and we expand upon that idea with our Dillinger Escape Plan threesome.

The idea was to pit three DEP albums against one another, with Christ vouching for Calculating Infinity, Weaver backing Miss Machine and Mark bigging up One of Us is the Killer. With each of us covering a separate era of the band we soon found that we were all rather comfortable chatting about what this band means, what they stood for, and every single aspect of their sound.

We figured this out as we were recording (although you’d never be able to tell) and decided to split this episode in half cleanly, so in this part we talk about the band’s history and the albums we didn’t choose. Vote comes next week.
