The Distillers were a Punk Rock band formed in Los Angeles 1996. They released their first two albums on Hellcat Records/Epitaph Records before moving to Sire, part of the Warner Music Group. The Distillers were originally formed by Austrlian-born Brody Armstrong (later Dalle), a woman with a distinctively harch singing voice. Ex-wife of Rancid's Tim Armstrong,Brody changed her name to "Dalle" after their divorce in 2003. Although there were significant line-up changes it was Brody who played guitar, sang, and wrote or co-wrote nearly every song on the band's three albums. Tony Bradley also played guitar and Ryan Sinn played bass.
