Brody Dalle is the lead singer and guitarist for the band The Distillers. She grew up in Fitzroy, Melbourne, Australia. Her early days were filled with rage and hate which is where a lot of inspiration for her music has sprung. Brody's mother kicked out Brody's biological father when she was still a young girl. Her mother then remarried and had a second child. Brody felt like the outsider and took to the streets, turning her back on her home. Around age 13, her and her mothers vitriolic relationship came to a boiling point. Both hated each other and showed it by, on one occasion, strangling each other in their kitchen. Brody started cutting, doing drugs, and skipping school.

At age 15 she was kicked out of the public school she had been attending and sent to an all-girls Catholic school.

Brody found a release for her outrage upon hearing the punk rock band Discharge. Its angry, screaming, sound was what she felt and wanted to say.

She soon formed her own band, Sourpuss, which got the chance to play Australia's Somersault Festival along with bands like Sonic Youth and The Beastie Boys. There, while packing up drums, she met her future husband, Tim Armstrong, of Rancid but recently got divorced.

Once Brody turned 18 she moved to L.A. to be with Tim and start a new band. The Distillers started out as Brody, Kim Fuelleman, Matt Young, and Rose Casper.

Since the release of their self titled debut album in 2000, the bands format has changed several times. Matt and Kim left and are now apart of the band, Original Sinners. Rose stayed for the creation of their second album for which they brought on two new members, Andy Outbreak (formerly of the Nerve Agents), and Ryan Sinn.

Before it was even released, Rose realized her heart wasn't in it and left the band. The band's new formula remains just the three, but what a powerful combination it is.

Their second record, Sing Sing Death House, was released in 2002 and was unquestionably better than the first. They've fine tuned their sound making more use of rhythm, melody, and catchy, passionate choruses. Brody's rasping voice truly is unique and burning, leaving a mark like none other.

Unlike many punk rock bands of today, their sound is all their own, and no song can be mistaken for the previous.

Brody has made peace with her family, herself and she's overcome her tumultuous past. She had found an amazing, supportive husband but recently they got divorced and shes changed her last name to Dalle. And band mates that are in it for the long run. Brody Armstrong is a raw force to be reckoned with.
