The Distillers are 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 play intense, hard punk rock. They tour often and are fairly popular internationally. Brody Dalle has written or co-written every song on the band's 3 albums.

According to ultimate-guitar.com, the group has been working on a new album that was supposed to be released in 2005 and has been delayed until 2006 [1] as the album is unfinished.
