A fixture of both the San Francisco and Los Angeles punk scenes of the late '70s, The Dils brought a far left political bent and a decidedly pop take on harmony to the nascent genre. Anchored by the Kinman brothers, Chip and Tony (who also briefly played in the Avengers), the Dils made a name for themselves with a stream of live shows and a series of classic singles like 1977’s “Class War/Mr. Big.” Though the Dils only lasted until 1980, the Kinman brothers went on to help nurture the upstart “cowpunk” genre with their band Rank and File.
Members of The Dils include, or have included, Chip Kinman and Pat Garrett.
