"Brody said her piece, we said our piece, and we don't ever want to talk about it again."įuture plans for the band include more touring in the United States and Europe as well as their version of the "Spiderman" song in the upcoming sequel. "There was nothing said on our part for nine months and there was tons of s- said on their part," Granelli said. When asked about the recent interview the band gave in the British magazine "Face," in which they give their side of the story in the Rancid saga, Granelli insists it was Dalle's mouthpiece and the band's only response. "I was kinda nervous cause I had never seen him before and he ended up being this cute little guy that randomly broke into 'When I was with Echo and the Bunnymen' stories," Granelli said. Granelli recalls Norton's guidance as a key part to "Coral Fang." The band also brought in producer Gil Norton (Pixies, Foo Fighters) to steer the session. We had a lot of time to do this record and I don't think it's too polished or clean, it's just the way the drums sounded in the room and the way the guitar sounded in the room." "We weren't happy with the last record ('Sing Sing Death House') because it was so rushed. "Coral Fang" has a more cleanly produced sound than their previous releases, but Granelli said that was wanted they wanted. You will not see them coordinate or choreograph staged moves like their new upstart label-mates Story of the Year do, but you will witness a super-tight group blast out punk rock assaults with unmatched ferocity.ĭrummer Andy "Outbreak" Granelli addressed the band's new record, "Gil Norton and Spiderman," in an interview at the show. Their live shows showcase a distinctive intensity that is carried by the power of their music and the driving force of their lyrics. The Distillers played to an energetic and surprisingly diverse crowd at the Black Cat a few weeks ago. For argument's sake, "Coral Fang," pound-for-pound outdoes, out-rocks and outshines the latest rival Rancid release, "Indestructible." "Coral Fang" really broke new ground for the band and secured their spot as one of the best underground rocks bands today. Their sound now spans the early 80s fast punk sound (a la a female-fronted GBH) to "Bleach"-era Nirvana, yet with a catchiness that leaves both failing in comparison. After one listen to "Coral Fang" anyone can realize that the Distillers are a solid unit, consisting of four talented musicians with unique style and delivery. With all controversy and gossip aside, and no matter what level of success "Coral Fang" reaches, their intensity is undeniable both live and on record. She does everything the boys can do and a whole slew of things no boy ever could.However, the Distillers are a punk rock band, not a one woman show. In his interview with the Sydney Morning Herald, Homme described Dalle as “my punk-rock dream girl,” adding, “I always thought if I could go out with a chick with a mohawk who also read philosophy, I’d be winning. But not saying anything became the only thing that had any truth to it.” Go ahead.’ I didn’t steal anybody’s anything. “They were saying, ‘We’re gonna kill you.’ And I was saying, ‘I’m six-foot-five and I have red hair and I’m not hiding. I never thought I would get married, but I found someone I couldn’t live without.”ĭalle soon left Armstrong for Homme, leading to a bitter public spat between the three musicians and their respective fan bases. “I got all kinds of threats,” Homme said at the time.
“From that moment we clicked and it was on.
“I pretended I didn’t see her and tried to be cool,” Homme explained. The pair finally crossed paths again at Australia’s Big Day Out Festival in 2003.
