well, i liked courtney love. then i was listening to yahoo's rancid radio, and suddenly heard a woman's voice, thought it was courtney love. i wanted to know what the song's name was, but then i noticed it was the distillers. and i decided to find out more about them.

Beat Your Heart Out was on one of the Tony Hawk games a few years back, when I was more into video games. I fell in love with Brody's voice and decided to check some more stuff of theirs out.

City of angels was on tony hawks 4 I think...

I know it has nothing to do with beat your heart out but I thought I would say

Agnostic · **Posted:** Sat Mar 17, 2007 4:52 pm

The Distillers opened up for AFI at the brickworks in Chico, CA back in like 2002. I had a really good time at the show and thats kind of how I was exposed to them. I saw them again in Sacramento a few months later. Our local zine The synthesis [url=http://www.synthesis.net/:5mb32045]http://www.synthesis.net/[/url:5mb32045] has had a picture of the band on the back page of their mag. ever since.

It was quite late for me actually, about a year and a halv ago.. I saw a music video on Ztv in sweden, of drain the blood. I was sold at once, I loved her looks, music and voice. It was like it filled a hole inside of myself.. yeah..

smoke two joints · **Posted:** Mon Apr 02, 2007 12:28 pm

a freind of mine, who was cooler than me, at the time, or so i thought haha, loved the distillers

and i had never listened to them

she sent me city of angels,

then i was hooked,

i bought ssdh, then coral fang, and i was in love, then i tracked down the st, which was surprisingly hard to find

JayNI · **Posted:** Wed Apr 04, 2007 5:00 am

Was at a mates house, and we were all fucking about, and then this song came on the cd player, and i was like 'wooooah, what is that!?!'
Found the box of the disc that was playing, and found that it was a band called The Distillers. The song was Sing Sing Death House. Loved it.
So from then on i just searched for anyhting i could about them....discovered they had two albums, the singer was actualy female, and she was stunning with an amazing voice.
Then it just went from there.

Peper · **Posted:** Wed Apr 04, 2007 5:40 am

I heard "Beat Your Heart Out"

and I loved it

Jenily · **Posted:** Wed Apr 04, 2007 11:16 am

this really cute girl [who's now one of my good friends] had on a distillers patch, and i asked her about it. she told me i neeeeeded to listen to them.
so i did.

NightCrawler · **Posted:** Wed Apr 04, 2007 12:07 pm

Someone sent me one of their songs.

But before they did that, I saw a picture of Brody in Elle magazine, and I was like, whoa, she's pretty, and it was like a list of her favorite songs or something. and then I found out who it was.

ViBoRaS · **Posted:** Wed Apr 04, 2007 4:23 pm

my friend said to me :"there is a music group for you!!".. i listened "city of angels"... then i seen brody on the web and in a second i was in love with her. <3

ms. E · **Posted:** Wed Apr 04, 2007 4:38 pm

actually the first time I heard them I thought it was shit, I even offered to dispose of the CD. Then, like a year later someone showed me the City of Angels video and I fell in love. I went out and bought all 3 cds and listened to coral fang and sing sing death house over and over again for like a year straight. I was never much on s/t. I liked gypsy rose lee and that was basically it. I love it now though. All 3 of them that is.

draginshreds · **Posted:** Wed Apr 04, 2007 8:13 pm

I saw them in Blunt magazine and liked the sound of Brody so i went on amazon sampled all the songs and bought all of their cd's

i was also and still am really into Corky Love so i got more into the Distillers from there and i'm loving Sourpuss too,

JayNI · **Posted:** Thu Apr 05, 2007 5:45 am

I think had i heard City Of Angels first, i would have disliked them, and probably never given them a second chance cause i'm like that. City of Angels is just one of my least favorite songs.

nekro_doll13 · **Posted:** Sat Apr 07, 2007 1:49 pm

Some punk girl back in 2002 was passing out flyers in my highschool,and since i was all into the scene she gave me one and i checked them out.LOVED THEM FROM THE FIRST RIFF I HEARD.I was like yea RAW fuckin punkrock,loved how she wrote about her views/her life.

bloodykisses36 · **Posted:** Mon Apr 09, 2007 7:59 pm

I saw the coral fang vidoe on tv and i loved it so i decided to check them out...bought their cd a shot while after that and fell in love with the band since then

baroness_strange · **Posted:** Tue Apr 10, 2007 3:41 am

i was reading some post on the internet of someone slagging off avril..
and then somewhere she said " if you want to see a real punk rock girl, check out brody armstrong of the distillers"

so i dld some songs... the first song i heard was "open sky" and i was just fascinated of her voice right away...

yeah.. that was in early 2003

revenant_gurl · **Posted:** Thu Apr 12, 2007 5:54 am

i saw a photo of them on the msn space of a friend

ha yeah. kitty radio, well most of the people on there, hate brody.
but ironically they all needed to post songs, so we could see how much brody was "ripping courtney off"

they're so different, I don't get it.

Dead_and_Buried · **Posted:** Thu Apr 12, 2007 1:10 pm

I saw them live.

I went to the Exit/In in Nashville to see Starflyer 59 (God bless Jason Martin) and saw a flyer for an upcoming Distillers show. I fell in love with their sound. [/END STORY]

putridflower · **Posted:** Sat Apr 14, 2007 4:35 am

I just remembered how I heard about the distillers. i was looking through a different forum, and there was a thread with a picture of brody with a "she used to be hot" type comment below it. then i looked her up on Wikipedia. i can't remember what happened after that though. i just remember SSDH being the first album I got.

it was the coloured version of this picture

Foxxe · **Posted:** Sun Apr 15, 2007 1:11 pm

City of Angels was on a mix CD a friend gave me and then I borrowed Sing Sing Death House off him quite a bit later. At first I didn't like anything on it except City of Angels, but over time I've come to absolutely love it.

rafaella · **Posted:** Thu Oct 11, 2007 8:33 pm

Believe it or not --> WIKIPEDIA! shame on me i know. i was just getting into punk rock and searching from some punk rock bands with a woman lead singer, the rest is the downloading and fallen in love thing! xD

revenant_gurl · **Posted:** Fri Oct 12, 2007 12:49 am

almost everyone here fell in love with the distillers with city of angels

first song i listened was sick of it all, i didnt like it so much, but i was listening to it every day, so finally i fell in love

revenant_gurl · **Posted:** Fri Oct 12, 2007 12:49 am
