Headstrong

Who Do You Love?

Can't Keep Those Dead Men Down

A Different Shade of Normal

It's Coming Home

Insane

Distillery first came together to jam at guitarist and lead vocalists Rob Richards bush property, January 1st 2020. Rob's property, is situated on Distillery Track, and hence where the band Distillery name originated.

All three members were and are still current members of various local cover bands, Chiseld and Rock Pigs. “We hoped that some magic may happen… and it sure did! That afternoon we wrote the first song “Insane” (song regarding the environment) and we knew it was the start of something exciting.”

Then the Pandemic hit, like the rest of the world Distillery were forced to stop pretty much everything. Eventually around July 2020, the local restrictions on gatherings lifted somewhat and Distillery were finally able to get back together as a band and practise.

Distillery had not been idle in that time, as five songs were written within that period, “Its Coming home” (song regarding the Pandemic), “A Different Shade of Normal” (song regarding suicide prevention), “Cant Keep Those Dead Men Down” (song regarding insecurities), “Headstrong” (song regarding humanity’s folly) and “Who Do You Love” (song regarding relationship issues).

“Once back into rehearsal room we could not stop the writing process, in fact the ideas just flowed out of us. In truth, we had to put certain caveats around writing/creating as the immense creativeness that is the band Distillery was impinging on our ability to practise… we literally were writing faster than the time frame allowed.”

Distillery managed to record the first six songs and have now completed composing the entire twelve song Album that they had set earlier as a goal. With the last six songs due to be recorded in the winter of 2020 and their creative juices overflowing with eagerness, you can be sure that Distillery will have new material for you to enjoy for a long time to come.

Stay tuned as Distillery will be out and about on the live scene very soon.
