The Dillinger Escape Plan are getting ready to release a DVD called 'We're Not Trying To Impress You' which documents their career as a band. Guitarist Ben Weinman recently had this to say about the project when he was interviewed by Inside Out:

''Initially it was going to be a lot of footage from a lot of old shows, some of the footage is just so hard to use cause the sound and quality is so bad! We've done it a lot more documentary-style with a lot of interview footage, interviews with people, who were around the band when we first started that have some insight on what it was like when we first came out, behind the scenes footage, Davey Havok from AFI talks about when we first started out, there are a lot of veteran bands and newer bands adding their thoughts. Some people may not understand why someone like Davey would be on a Dillinger DVD, but back in the day the truth of the matter is Davey would call me and say, "Hey, I need a show in Jersey. Who should I call?" so I'd give him a number to a local guy who put on shows, then I'd call him and say, "Hey, I need a place to stay," and he would put me up! We all came from the same place even thought we were all playing very different music and that's the bottom line.''
