The Dillinger Escape Plan Hiatus
The Dillinger Escape have announced they are going on “extended hiatus.” They spoke with Noisey about the decision:
We’re really excited about this new album as well, but at the same time, it’s going to be our 20-year anniversary in 2017 — it might be even longer because I’m not sure when I started writing songs, but the first EP came out in ’97 — so I think it’s one of those things where we didn’t want to get to the point where we’re stopping because we have to or because we’re old or people are kind of over it.
They will release their final album, Dissociation, on October 14th. They’ve also released the new song “Limerent Death.”

ESPN’s Bill Barnwell Goes Deep on 2000s Emo
The Solid Verbal college football podcast did a deep dive on early 2000s emo/pop punk with ESPN’s Bill Barnwell. There’s something pretty great about hearing Barnwell, who I love to read write about football, go deep on The Promise Ring and Saves the Day.
