The Distillers

#

Started by msd in Other Bands & Artists

Really been digging The Distillers recently despite never having paid them any attention before. Have Coral Fang and Sing Sing Death House, really like Brody Dalle’s (or Mrs Josh Homme’s :D) voice. Anyone else?

I have Coral Fang which has some great tunes on… she does sound very much like Courtney Love though.

Sing Sing Death House is good as well…I prefer the punkier production actually.

I’ll second that! :D

Punk is sooooo 1977. And there’s still no future!

eh? Is it me or does that not make sense?!!!!

I do not like the Distillers because:

- The music has all been done a million times before in that punky kind of way
- They offer nothing new
- An ugly tattoed woman shouting is highly unattractive to me
- Punk died looooong ago. Why are people STILL trying to copy it? It was about the having something to say about life and culture at the time to make yourself heard. Copying it 30 years later for entertainment/nostalgia trips is lame - unless you update it and make it your own. (i won’t name any bands/albums, because they will get slated now by Distillers fans!)

On the plus side they are talented, i just wish they would do something new and interesting!! :p

Yes, the band is rubbish as a musical force. But they do have talent. Perfect sense! :)

I bought Coral Fang and was quite disappointed with it. It’s not really a punk album. Drain The Blood is the punkest thing on there, the rest is just rock. The Hunger was good, had a bit of a 70s rock feel to it.

The hunger is a great song and I like her voice, so for me it’s disappointing that they’ve split up.

I thought the first album was pretty shit… i liked the last two though. Coral Fang was very commercal in comparrison to sing sing, but good songs… I was glad they started to sound less like rancid as i fucking hate them at times.

She has a new band now called Spinnerette
