Label: Hellcat
Released 6/6/2000
The hardcore punk outfit the DISTILLERS first came together in late 1998 when Aussie native Brody Armstrong met bassist Kim Chi at work and realized their love for playing. Soon they hooked up with Detroit guitarist Rose Casper and drummer Matt. Signed to Epitaph, the band issued its self-titled debut in April 2000. Sing Sing Death House appeared the same year, but was re-released in early 2002 thanks to the sudden popularity of "Seneca Falls." By now, Kim Chi had left the group to join EXENE CERVENKA in her band, the ORIGINAL SINNERS. Ryan Sinn stepped in to replace her; Matt departed to join Chi while Casper left during the height of "Seneca Falls." By summer 2002, the DISTILLERS were composed of Armstrong, Sinn, and new drummer Andy "Outbreak" Granelli; joint American dates with NO DOUBT and GARBAGE were planned for later that fall. Guitarist/vocalist Tony Bradley joined the DISTILLERS in time for the recording of their third album and major-label debut, Coral Fang, which was released in 2003 by Sire.
