-Brody Dalle

|
 |
| Brody is the leader of punk outfit The Distillers, whose third album Coral Fang is winning more new fans each day. She's equally famous for her marriage to and divorce from Rancid rocker Tim Armstrong. |
 |
| She's the new badass icon of punk music, picking up in the punk/rock scene where Courtney Love left off and jamming fistfuls of her own homegrown fury into it. With visceral lyrics, amazing melodies and mean guitar skills, Brody is helping to return punk to its truest form. |

Brody Dalle was born Bree Leslie Pucilowski on New Year's Day, 1979, in Melbourne, Australia. As every good punk star should, Brody came from a turbulent family, her early days engulfed in anger and hate. Her mother booted her biological father out of the house when she was very young, then remarried and had a second child. The ensuing feelings of alienation prompted Brody to seek solace in the streets.
By the time she was 13, Brody and her mother coexisted in a state of mutual hatred, their relationship founded on screams. Brody had turned to drugs, regularly skipped classes and would cut herself out of angst and frustration. Two years later she was expelled from her school and sent to a strict Catholic girls' institution.
At a punk concert, Brody discovered the cathartic quality of distorted guitars and screams of rage. She identified immediately with the world of outcasts and broken dreamers, and formed her own band, Sourpuss. Sourpuss slowly built up a loyal fan base, and soon became known enough to play alongside bands like Sonic Youth and Beastie Boys at Australia's Somersault Festival.
Another band playing the festival was renowned punk outfit Rancid. She met the band's frontman, Tim Armstrong, and although he was 12 years her senior at the time (he being 28, she, 16), the two fell in love. The two were married shortly after Brody's 18th birthday, and she moved to Los Angeles with Armstrong and took his name as her own. |
