In classic punk style, Los Angeles-based quartet the Distillers doesn't care what I'll write about them. They don't care what you think of them either. The band's primary objective? Blow the doors off pop-punk's tired status quo. In just three years, the Distillers has gone from punk unknown to major-label star. After two acclaimed albums on Epitaph, the group made its major-label debut on Warner Brothers with 2003's "Coral Fang."

Aussie lead singer Brody Dalle (formerly known as Brody Armstrong)--ex-wife of Rancid's Tim Armstrong--propels the Distillers' sound, with her angry, snarling vocals and sharp-tongued lyrics. Dalle's airtight, lightning-quick backing corps holds down the backbeat. "Coral Fang" finds the band varying the tempo from its traditional machine gun pace, but the punk esthetic runs throughout.
