The Dillinger Escape Plan's Ben Weinman announces Party Smasher's new global partnership
The Dillinger Escape Plan’s Ben Weinman has signed Party Smasher Inc. to a global partnership with Cooking Vinyl.
Weinman launched Party Smasher in 2009. “I was well into my 20s, with a college degree and a corporate job, playing music with no intention of generating money or some massive fanbase,” he explains.

“Before I had even realized it, I was making 100 percent of my living creating art. How did this happen? Because we ignored 'the rules.' It wasn't until I started living my artistic life with that mindset that I became a responsible creator—one who could move people through honest expression.”

Among other endeavors, Party Smasher will be releasing new music from the Dillinger Escape Plan, Giraffe Tongue Orchestra and Primitive Weapons in 2016.
