After last week’s vote ended in 100% of people agreeing that Mule Variations should go into the discography, we thought we’d return to punk and cover Sing Sing Death House by The Distillers. We also welcome back Anna Goldthorp!

The Distillers only released 3 albums in their career, and people generally tend to look more favourably on their 3rd (and to date, final) album Coral Fang. But this week Anna and Mark are here to argue Sing Sing Death House is not only unsung but also the band’s best record.

On this episode, aside from going into the band’s limited back catalogue, we spend a good chunk of time talking about how influential Brody Dalle is, why The Distillers were an important band in the early 00s, and her legacy.

We also have Breagha Cuinn from Bratakus phone in to give us her thoughts on Brody Dalle and her influence.

As we’re now recording remotely, we’re still sorting out a few things on the audio side, so this episode may sound a little strange in places.

Sing Sing Death House - unsung classic? You decide.
