Brody Dalle (born 1st January, 1979)
Associated Acts: The Distillers (1998 - 2006, 2018 - Present), Spinnerette (2007 - 2010)
Vocal Type: Forget the whole contralto or mezzo argument, can we just agree that her voice is fucking awesome?
Vocal Range: A2 - B♭5
{Vocal Summary}Holy shit I am too tired to write this vocal summary properly but after a solid day's research and over a year of listening to Drain the Blood, I have come to the conclusion that holy shit, Brody Dalle is one impressive singer. Incredibly dark and rich lows that only got stronger as her career progressed and crunchy, guttural, distorted highs that you can basically hear rip her throat apart as she sings - which still remains one of her most recognisable traits that I am ever thankful she's kept up and still managed to keep without damaging her voice too much. Jesus Christ this is one hell of a singer.
