He is an advocate of veganism. Personal life Concerned about environmental causes, Wilson wore a shirt with the homemade message "Stop MTM/VF" on The Dillinger Escape Plan's February 2, 2008 appearance on Late Night with Conan O'Brien. Wilson has been a big advocate for veganism and has appeared in several pro-vegan advertisements for PETA, although in recent years he has distanced himself from the organization and is more flexible about those beliefs because of his yoga, and transcendental meditation practices. Wilson is capable of playing both finger-style and with a pick, although he used a pick almost exclusively with The Dillinger Escape Plan as he felt it fit the music more. Other work Wilson was featured on the cover of Bass Players September 2013 issue, and has also written several columns for the magazine, in which he extols the virtues of Bikram yoga in relation to his bass playing. Wilson performed with the band Frodus (aptly labeled "Frodus Escape Plan") for a few reunion shows in March 2009 as a statement in response to the bank bailouts and the uncovering of corporate corruption in the financial sector. As of February 2017, Wilson is the bass player for psychedelic death metal band John Frum. Wilson formed the band Azusa with members of Extol and Sea + Air, with plans of releasing their debut album in November 2018.
