Watch Dillinger’s BEN WEINMAN Interview MIKE PATTON

by Ryan Minic | Jul 16, 2014

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. It brings inspiration, resource and a home for alternative creatives.” We’re into that.

We’re also into this interview where Ben Weinman interviews Mike Patton about creating something from nothing.
