I recently heard a Denver DJ flip the gender influence card and comment that Tim Armstrong’s voice on the latest Rancid single sounded a lot like Brody Dalle.

Of course, she’s not helping her cause much by using cover art that’s nearly identical to the first Queens album.

@Maura: Heard of the Distillers, but not her personally. Somebody told me they sounded like Hole, so I backed away slowly.

i would’ve thought that if anybody had influenced her songwriting, it would’ve been alain johannes, a man who is significantly responsible for QOTSA’s sound as well. i haven’t heard this album though, only the EP, so i can’t really say much else, but i think it’s more likely that johaness played a bigger role in these songs (being in the band and whatnot) than homme did.

I call hyperbole foul on Teri Williams. While “favorite” punk pin-up is a debatable position, “first” is seriously out of the question. Also, I don’t understand what is so provocative about prevailing, but that is accepatble rock-crit nonsense.

This isn’t exactly a new problem for Dalle, is it? Many, many reviews of the Distillers’ ‘album referenced her relationship with Tim Armstrong and hinted at ghostwriting accusations.

@Lucas Jensen: you never heard of the distillers OR 'hands up'? dude, you need to spend some quality time with me!

I’ve never even heard of her or this ever.
