Unquestionable Presence
The Distillers were a punk band that formed in Los Angeles in 1998. The Distillers formed by Australian-born Brody Armstrong (later Dalle after the divorce between her and Rancid's Tim Armstrong. She would later marry Josh Homme of Queens of The Stone Age having a child together), who has a distinctively harsh singing voice which has become the most recognizable element of the band.
They had significant line-up changes with Brody being the only constant member.
Members Brody and Tony formed a new band called Spinnerette since the hiatus of The Distillers.
On August, 16 2008, the band posted a blog on their myspace page stating "As you know The Distillers are on hiatus for the moment, while Brody works on her Spinnerette project.
So don't go assuming were gone forever, when that is not the case.
Thanks for all you guys who still listen to the music.

One of my favorite punk bands.
Brody is what attracted me to the band honestly. It was her voice that grabbed me (find women with raspy voices sexy) and then I had to see what she looked like and saw them live and then I really got hooked on them.
Personally I think she shits on Courtney Love who she was constantly compared to. I also think she is much more attractive as well.
Great band.
