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.

The Distillers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
As we walk over this wasteland of hate
There's people getting angry in these darkest hours
There's blood on the streets and the streets are ours
Warriors, never forget the Warriors
Our mates are diamond and we shine like steel
You can't beat us down the wounds will never heal
You can't rob a warrior of his pride
It's your hate on which we feed
We are the new class we are the new breed
Send our regards to a nation on fire
And with love a bouquet of barbed wire
From the Warriors
Your sun is setting and the day is late
As we walk over this wasteland of hate
There's people getting angry in these darkest hours
There's blood on the streets and the streets are ours
Warriors, never forget the Warriors
Our mates are diamond and we shine like steel
You can't beat us down the wounds will never heal
You can't take us for a ride
You can't rob a warrior of his pride
It's your hate on which we feed
We are the new class we are the new breed
Send our regards to a nation on fire
And with love a bouquet of barbed wire
From the Warriors
The Distillers' song "Warriors" is a powerful anthem that tells the story of young people fighting against hatred and oppression. The song starts with the indication that the sun is setting and the day is late, which can be interpreted as a reference to the end of an era. As they walk over the wasteland of hate, the song's narrator highlights how people are becoming increasingly violent during these darkest hours. At this point, the song's title is introduced as the singer makes a call to "Warriors" to never forget who they are.
The second part of the song is an affirmation of the band's identity as fierce fighters who cannot be beaten down or robbed of their pride. The chorus repeats the line "Our mates are diamond and we shine like steel" as a testament to the strength of their community. The song's central message is about standing up to those who hate and discriminate, recognizing that they are the new class and the new breed, and sending their regards to a nation on fire. Overall, the song is a battle cry that encourages listeners to stay strong and fight for what they believe in.

I like this better than blitz version
@happyhooliedaze
Blitz is the original. I have that Warriors E.P. and it never fails. This rendition is really good, specially w/Brody's vox, but Blitz kicksass
