Band name has alternate type ORIGINAL OWNER - purchased in Central London UK A key punk rock recording.
Soon after forming in late 1976 the band relocated to San Francisco,[5] where they would have a significant influence on that city's embryonic punk scene (bassist Tony Kinman played briefly with The Avengers during 1977), and then Los Angeles, becoming one of the major bands in the early Los Angeles punk scene too.[6] They were known for their conspicuous radical left politics,[1] and for a strong melodic sense that earned them the nickname "punk rock Everly Brothers".[7]
Their debut single was "I Hate The Rich" / "You're Not Blank" (the latter covered by the Minneapolis punk band Dillinger Four), on Los Angeles-based label What? Records, released in 1977. The second single, "Class War", was released on DangerHouse Records.[8] The band relocated to San Francisco in 1977.[8]
Their next record was their critical high-point, 1977's "Class War" / "Mr. Big" (the former covered by Canadian punks D.O.A.), issued on Dangerhouse label, in a pressing of 1500 copies entitled "198 Seconds Of The Dils". The last contemporary release was a three-sided double-7" in 1980, "Made In Canada", produced by Bob Rock, which showed a gathering roots rock orientation. The Dils opened for The Clash in Santa Monica[9] in 1980 and later that year the band dissolved[9] after playing one last show with Black Flag.[10]
Music from The Dils (including material unreleased during the band's lifetime) remains available.
