ability as well as his impressive rehearsals with THE
DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN."

"We received over one hundred submissions but Gregâs clearly
stood out over the rest. He is just like us in many ways. He
is interested in using music to vent and as a way of
expression to the fullest. He has the fire and determination
that we feel has gotten us to the point at which we are at and
which will eventually take us to the next level." said guitarist
Benjamin Weinman.
The band recently debuted with Puciato at a CMJ show on October 11
at New York Cityâs Downtime, where THE DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN met
an enthusiastic and positive response.
Puciato explained how he became involved in the submission process
and how he felt he was the perfect person for the vocalist slot:
"I heard THE DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN was accepting tapes and I
immediately knew that I was the guy. They were playing the music
that I have always heard in my head but never actually on a CD.
I've always liked the fact that they don't put limitations on
their songwriting and that they have the musical talent and ability
to play anything they can visualize. When the opportunity presented
itself, I was just focused on getting where I needed to be. I knew
I was right for them, but the work was in showing them that."
THE DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN will proceed with their plans to
collaborate with ex-Faith No More vocalist Mike Patton on an EP
while they continue to write new material for a full-length with
Puciato.
