388. Liam Wilson (The Dillinger Escape Plan)

It's Philly Music Fest time again, and this year, Dan had one major interview on his wishlist: The Dillinger Escape Plan. Thankfully, Dan got his wish, and he and DEP bassist Liam Wilson have an indepth conversation about Liam's early days in the Philadelphia hardcore and metal scene, joining The Dillinger Escape Plan in 2000, and the wild ride that ensued. Liam is also the current bassist for melodic death metal pioneers In Flames, and is part of the "supergroup" Azusa, which features members of Extol. 

The Dillinger Escape Plan are part of this year's Philly Music Fest lineup, and are playing October 15th at Underground Arts with Pyhrron and Caged. Tickets are currently still available, go to the festival's website for up to date information.  2026 marks Philly Music Fest's 10th year as a non-profit music festival. All the proceeds from the 7 nights of shows go to Philadelphia music charities that offer music instruction and experiences to the youth of Philadelphia.
