The Distillers was a punk rock band formed in 1998. 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 Brody Dalle and the lineup has changed significantly since then. Brody Dalle plays guitar and sings while Tony Bradley plays guitar as well. Ryan Sinn played bass, but left recently, announcing his departure on his MySpace page.
The Distillers are known for playing intense, hard punk rock. They toured often and were fairly popular internationally[citation needed]. Brody Dalle has written or co-written nearly every song on the band's 3 albums.
According to the Distillers' online message board, the band has broken up. Members Brody and Tony have formed a new band called Spinnerette.[citation needed]
