Soon after forming in late 1976, The Dils relocated to San Francisco , where they would have a significant influence on that city’s embryonic punk scene (bassist Tony Kinman played briefly with The Avengers during 1977), and then Los Angeles, becoming one of the major bands in the early Los Angeles punk scene too. They were known for their conspicuous radical left politics, and for a strong melodic sense that earned them the nickname “punk rock Everly Brothers “.
