The Distillers split for the very first time in 2004, Brody and Tony have since formed a new band called Spinnerette. Ryan Sinn joined Angels & Airwaves after The Distillers split, but left A&A after two years.
Brody announced the emergence of Spinnerette, a semi-solo project in March 2007. She stated in an interview that, "Spinnerette isn't a band, it's me and whichever musicians I want to work with at the time." Spinnerette released a digital EP called Ghetto Love, via their Official Website on December 11th, 2008. On June 9th, 2009 the band made their entire debut album available for listening on their MySpace page. The album, Spinnerette, was released in the UK on June 15th, 2009. The first single was Baptized By Fire.
In November 2012, Brody Dalle announced on Twitter that she was working on a solo album, featuring Alain Johannes and Michael Shuman of Queens of the Stone Age and Shirley Manson of Garbage.
In November 2013, Dalle announced that she had signed to Caroline Records, a division of Universal Music Group, with the intention of releasing her debut solo album in early 2014. The album was produced by Alain Johannes, and features guest appearances from Shirley Manson of Garbage, Nick Valensi of the Strokes, and Warpaint's Emily Kokal. Dalle is scheduled to promote the album and support Nine Inch Nails and Queens of the Stone Age on their Australia/New Zealand tour in March 2014.
In January 3rd, 2018 Brody Dalle and the band shared a short 30 second trailer video teasing new material and captioned with the words ‘THE DISTILLERS 2018’. Dalle has also changed her Facebook cover photo to The Distillers logo. During 2017 Dalle shared photos of herself at work in the studio.
In 2018, they have been touring the United States and Europe. In September 2018 they released their first EP as a band after 15 years: Man vs. Magnet, which includes a new edit of Brody Dalle's 2014 song "Blood in Gutters" as a B-side.
This new edit has a different lyrics, but it kept the chorus line "Find your weakness, kill it"

Let alone
The Distillers's song "Beat Your Heart Out" is a high-energy, angst-filled track about a toxic relationship that is draining the singer's energy and leaving them feeling alone and broken. The song starts with the repetition of the line "Baby, you make my heart beat faster," which highlights the intense physical attraction the singer has towards their partner even though they know the relationship is causing them harm. The chorus, which is repeated multiple times throughout the song, serves as a reminder of the hold the partner has over the singer and how the singer is unable to break free from their grasp.
The verses of the song are where the true emotion comes through, as the singer sings about the damage that has been done to them and how they have had to run and give up in order to preserve their own well-being. The lines "let alone to rest alone" and "yeah, you're breaking me" allude to the isolation and emotional pain that the singer has experienced due to their partner's actions. The repeated line "stab it out" serves as a metaphor for the singer's desire to cut themselves free from the relationship.
Overall, "Beat Your Heart Out" is a powerful song that explores the complexity of toxic relationships and the difficult choices that people in such relationships often have to make. It is a song that resonates with anyone who has been in a toxic relationship and felt trapped by the intense feelings that such relationships often inspire.
