You know what the weirdest thing has been about Donald Trump’s first year in the Oval Office? It’s that no rock artist in America with a profile has managed to come across as seriously pissed off on a sustained basis.

Why in the hell hasn’t Rage Against the Machine been hammering away at new songs instead of collecting royalty cheques in between infrequent reunions? (Guitarist Tom Morello might have answered this last week in an interview with Germany’s Guitare & Basse, where he observed “Most people get along better with a nice melody and a shallow text, than with an angry melody and a snappy text.”)

Green Day has made it clear they have zero interest in making a Mango Mussolini sequel to American Idiot by keeping away from politics on its current tour. (“People know how I feel," singer Billie Joel Armstrong recently told Rolling Stone. “I feel like going negative is just throwing fuel on the fire. I feel like the government is trying to create a culture war between us in a lot of ways.”)

NOFX—whose vocal criticism of the George W. Bush government yielded a Rock Against Bush series of compilation albums, as well as the classic Dubya-inspired track “Idiot Son of an Asshole”, has been more interested in pimping such endeavours as its Punk in Drublic Music and Craft Beer Festival.

Just when it looked the days of flamethrowing punk are officially over, however, we’ve been given some good news.

The Distillers look like they are officially back. And given singer Brody Dalle’s famously outspoken nature, one might suggest that it won’t be long before she’s taking dead aim at President Donald J. “Grab ‘Em By the Pussy” Trump.

Formed in the dying days of the’90s, the Distillers delivered three ragingly uncompromising full-lengths before imploding in 2006. Those of the opinion that Paramore remains the pinnacle of modern-day female-fronted punk rock need to seriously check out The Distillers (2000), Sing Sing Death House (2002), and Coral Fang (2003).

After going on to form Spinerette, Dalle spent much of the past decade raising three kids with her husband, Josh Homme of Queens of the Stone Age. She also released a critically well-received solo album, Diploid Love, in 2014. But it’s the Distillers that first made Dalle famous, and it’s the Distillers that fans have remained most fascinated about over the years.

Last week the singer took to Instagram to post a 30-second video which she tagged “THE DISTILLERS 2018”. That’s been followed by news that the reformed band—which will feature original members instead of nothing but hired guns—will appear at this May’s Shaky Knees Music Festival in Atlanta with the National, War on Drugs, Jack White, and Queens Of The Stone Age. A new album is also rumoured to be in the works.

Welcome back, primarily because Dalle seems to have one setting with the Distillers: Pissed to the Max. And given such Tweets as the following, one might conclude that the punk-as-fuck frontwoman is going to have plenty to stay when she’s back in front of the mic.
