The Distillers - City of Angels

The Distillers are an American punk rock band, formed in Los Angeles, California in 1998 by vocalist and guitarist Brody Dalle. They broke up in 2006 with Dalle and Distillers guitarist Tony Bevilacqua went on to form Spinnerette. In January 2018, Dalle shared a teaser video from The Distillers' Instagram and a newly-opened Twitter account to confirm the return of the band.

Their 2002 album Sing Sing Death House is one that holds many memories of me at house parties and sleepovers. For a period it was the album that would be on repeat for those still awake at 5am. Not sure why...

I have gone with City Of Angels today as the song to share. Sometimes described as a "punk Courtney Love" (I fucking hate Courtney Love), Brody Dalle has some great punk raspy, sexy vocals that sound so much better than what Courtney Love can pull off live. One of my favourite songs by them. Catchy American punk rock.
