The Distillers is the self-titled debut album from the American punk band the Distillers, released on 11 April 2000 on the Shock label. It is the first of three studio albums they made, and it sets out the band's stall from the start, drawing on punk, hardcore punk and street punk.

As a starting point, it is the place to hear the group before the records that followed: Sing Sing Death House in 2002 and Coral Fang in 2003. If you like your punk fast and raw, and enjoy tracing a band back to its first statement, this is the one to put on before moving through the rest of their short run.
