Dillinger Four
St. Paul, MN-based punk group Dillinger Four were formed in 1994 by guitarist Erik Funk and bassist Patrick Costello; the group's original line-up, also including guitarist Sloan and drummer Lane Pedersen, held together long enough to record the debut 7" Higher Aspirations: Tempered and Dismantled before Sloan exited to join Man Afraid. After recruiting ex-Scooby Don't guitarist Bill Morrisette, Dillinger Four resurfaced in 1996 with the EP The Kids Are All Dead; a split single with fellow Twin Cities band the Strike followed a year later...[more]

Dark and catchy at the same time, this explosive punk band leans more on the side of pop on this new studio album. Don't fret though, they still have the hard edge to them that has made their following so big. Drunk and fat, Dillinger Four are here to rock!

VINYL FORMAT. Dillinger Four are from Minneapolis, Minnesota. They formed in 1994. C I V I L W A R is their fourth full-length record. In terms of importance, they are to the '90s and '00s what Black Flag was to the '80s (without the Grateful Dead worship). It's not only what they are - a great band - it's what they've helped inspire, build, and represent. They're an earthquake. They're the Redd Foxx mixed with the Chalmers Johnson of punk rock. In the time between April 12, 1861 and April [ read more ]

The Dillinger Four are punk rock incarnate, and Versus God, the record by this exemplary crew of spry fellows from Minneapolis, is a punchy and rip-roaring classic. The general theme of the band, gleaned from its lyrics, appears to be seizing one's life back from whatever institution is currently fouling it up, living it to the utmost, and partying well past closing time. Song titles that support this theory include "Get Your Studyhall Outta My Recess," "Maximum Piss & Vinegar," and {&"Wreckt [ read more ]

A fourteen-song collection of out-of-print 7-inches and compilation tracks recorded between 1994 and 1997 by these hook-setting Minneapolis monsters of melodic mosh. Loved by skateboarders and anarchists alike for their butt-rocking style and humor-lined politics.

With song titles like "'Honey, I Shit the Hot Tub.'," "Super Powers Enable Me to Blend in with Machinery," and "Supermodels Don't Drink Colt .45," it's quite clear that Dillinger Four take their brand of punk-pop none too seriously; neither should you, as Midwestern Songs of the Americas makes for fun but eminently forgettable listening. ~ Jason Ankeny, All Music Guide

Punk rock's merry pranksters are at it again. A new full length with as much energy and craziness as all of their past releases. Not as raw as the early recordings, but just as good. Punk with a strong guitar/pop edge, going full throttle the whole way through - you just can't sit still listening to this record. Lyrics are awesome with wit, sarcasm, and intelligence, even if they are a bit cynical. Includes thick booklet with lyrics and lots of photos.
