The forthcoming [Spinnerette] full-length offers a far more three-dimensional insight into its Australian-born auteur’s tastes and talent than the conservative punk-rock aesthetic would ever have allowed. “Exactly,” says Dalle, “If you don’t fit in the category, you don’t really have a chance. Why does everything have to fit into a category? Why does everyone have to wear a uniform? Spinnerette was originally going to be a lot more electronic, but I still wanna be in a rock ‘n roll band. I love guitars too much. So it’s exactly the kind of wasteland I wanted to be in.”

Suicide Girls speak to Brody! Read it here!

On her first album since the Distillers broke up in 2005, singer Brody Dalle returns with a new band, Spinnerette, and a new sound that’s less straight-ahead punk than bruising, eccentric rock. Set for release this Spring, Ghetto Love is also her first musical project since giving birth to a daughter. The album’s overarching theme is difficult relationships, beginning with the gloomy, explosive “Cupid.”

Two years after the slow, messy dissolution of The Distillers culminated in their ultimate split, Brody Dalle is back with Spinnerette.

A far poppier beast than her previous band, the tone of Spinnerette's self-titled debut album is set by 'Ghetto Love', a jerky, tensile little number that suggests Karen O doing The Knack's 'My Sharona'.

Who would have thought that the Australian punk priestess behind the Distillers and Spinnerette used to tour the City of Angels in a Camaro? Here, Brody Dalle beats her heart out while jamming to her top favorite road trip tunes.
1. Ride’s “Drive Blind.” This song is so sexy. Alan McGee must have peed his pants when he heard it: “Cover my eyes and we’ll die driving blind.” Don’t tempt me!

2. “Talking to a Stranger” by Hunters & Collectors. This song reminds me of driving to Apollo Bay with my dad, when we would listen to their greatest hits tape over and over again. This band is quintessentially Australian, and makes me proud to be true blue.

3. Tom Petty’s “Running Down a Dream.” Full Moon Fever was the other tape we’d listen to on long family drives—everything from “Free Fallin’ ” to “Zombie Zoo.” It’s chock-full of hits, man. Eagles of Death Metal recorded at Sound City and all I could think was, Tom Petty recorded Full Moon Fever here! I love you, Tom.

4. Black Flag’s “My War.” This is the best song of all time.

5. “Where is my Mind?” by Pixies. This song gives me the chills every time. It reminds me of the Distillers driving through the mountains in Canada in the dead of winter in the “Silver Bullet,” our trusty Ford Econoline van. We saw a baby black bear standing on the side of the road and Andy [Granelli] and Tony [Bradley] saw the Sasquatch, apparently.
