The Distillers are purely, a punk band. Its that simple. The new
album Coral Fang is the culmination of the perfect chemistry between four top notch musicians who hate each
other.
The band was founded by Brody Dalle, an Australian native who washed up on an L.A. beach at 17. She soon turned
her culture shock and angst into music that screamed the truth. The Distillers first record, simply titled The Distillers,
is a hardcore portrayal of all-girl gang fight. It gives a shout-out to many of the bands early influences. Their sound developed
further with their next album Sing Sing Death House, as did their line up. Drummer Andy Granelli, former semi-professional
wrestler and drummer for The Nerve Agents was asked to beat the skins, and bass player Ryan Sinn, (who hates ice cream and
pussy rock, but really digs pumpkins and Johnny Cash) joined the band. Now the stage was set.
The Distillers worked
the road hard, touring as a power three piece for a solid year before the final piece of the puzzle fell into place. The band
asked lackey Tony Bichon Bradley to play guitar and lip sync for the now complete line up of The Distillers. It is time to
hit the ground running and let the world know who The Distillers are and their plans for taking over the world.
The
new Distillers album Coral Fang is the first part of their master plan. "Our music has matured on this album
though we havent, were still a punk band, we still play punk music, and we still hate you," says Brody. "I can't wait for
the new record."
