UNDER THE RUNNING BOARD

'Under the Running Board' is a three-track EP from The Dillinger Escape Plan that runs for about 7:30 minutes and acts as the anticipative released before the band's debut album, part of that first era of aggressive and technical music with the grizzly vocals of Dimitri Minakakis. Stylistically there is not much separating this release from 'Calculating Infinity', since this EP really sets the tone for what is to come with the band's debut album released the following year. The rampant riffs and the explosive tempo changes are on full display but unlike the band's previous EP, 'Under the Running Board' exhibits has a more cohesive nature, it bolsters a better songwriting and an overall better sound, still very dense and unhinged. Later on, these three songs would become staples of the band's infamous live shows, presenting the avant-garde approach of the band to creating dissonant and extremely heavy music.
