*Ryan Sinn left the band recently, with seemingly bitter feelings. He stated: "Well, I'm no longer part of the life I knew so recently. The Distillers are no more and it feels like a weight has been lifted. However, I'll never get rid of the disgust inside from it all." He now plays in the band Angels And Airwaves with Tom Delonge of Blink-182
