'''The Distillers''' were a [[punk rock]] band formed in [[Los Angeles]] in 1998. They released their first two [[album]]s on [[Hellcat Records]]/[[Epitaph Records]] before moving to Sire, part of the [[Warner Music Group]]. The Distillers were originally formed by Australian-born [[Brody Dalle|Brody Armstrong (later Dalle)]], a woman with a distinctively harsh singing voice. Ex-wife of [[Rancid (band)|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.
Members Brody and Tony have formed a new band called [[Spinnerette]].
