The Distillers

The distillers（蒸餾器）是epitaph旗下punk樂隊(duì)，成立于1998年。主唱Brody Armstrong是Rancid樂隊(duì)主唱tim Armstrong的前妻,女主唱Brody Dale的聲音粗野.狂放不羈,甚至是暴虐到歇斯底里. 樂隊(duì)的音樂(hardcore punk硬核朋克)將旋律與硬核的迅猛巧妙結(jié)合并且不缺乏時(shí)髦的EMO元素.自然而緊湊。 　　該樂隊(duì)一直在美國發(fā)展，直到第三張專輯也就是最后一張專輯才打入英國市場(chǎng)，小小的在英國排行榜上面獲得一些成就。但是在美國，該樂隊(duì)是非常有名的。有人玩笑說，The distillers是換了女主唱的Nirvana。

The hardcore punk outfit the Distillers first came together in late 1998 when Aussie native Brody Armstrong met bassist Kim Chi at work and realized their love for playing. Soon they hooked up with Detroit guitarist Rose Casper and drummer Matt. Signed to Epitaph, the band issued its self-titled debut in April 2000. Sing Sing Death House appeared the same year, but was re-released in early 2002 thanks to the sudden popularity of "Seneca Falls." By now, Kim Chi had left the group to join Exene Cervenka in her band, the Original Sinners. Ryan Sinn stepped in to replace her; Matt departed to join Chi while Casper left during the height of "Seneca Falls." By summer 2002, the Distillers were composed of Armstrong, Sinn, and new drummer Andy "Outbreak" Granelli; joint American dates with No Doubt and Garbage were planned for later that fall. Guitarist/vocalist Tony Bradley joined the Distillers in time for the recording of their third album and major-label debut, Coral Fang, which was released in 2003 by Sire. For the album, Armstrong reverted back to playing under the name Brody Dalle, following her very public divorce from Rancid's Tim Armstrong that same year. Granelli left the band in early 2005, moving on to play with Darker My Love, and by summer, Sinn had exited as well, later joining up with Angels and Airwaves. Despite rumors, the Distillers, now just comprised of Dalle and Bradley, denied that they were breaking up, instead simply going on hiatus. In early 2006, Dalle had her first child, daughter Camille, with new husband Josh Homme of Queens of the Stone Age. By the year's end, the two remaining members formally announced the band's disbandment and went on to form Spinnerette together.
