Watch Dillinger’s BEN WEINMAN Interview MIKE PATTON

You probably remember a while back when The Dillinger Escape Plan’s Ben Weinman launched Party Smasher Inc. Originally introduced as a record label, the venture has transformed itself into a collective of creative professionals and artistic provocateurs. This new online project “supports and produces independent creation, with an obsession for DIY and revulsion for expectedness.
