Background notes
Archive material and source history
The Dilettantes formed in Brooklyn in the early 2000s, with Julia Clayton as vocalist and songwriter. Their debut album 'Anthems of Rebellion' came out in 2005 and included the song 'Boys Are For Fighting,' which drew attention for its direct lyrics about gender and violence.
That song became something people talked about, both for what it said and how it said it. The band kept making music through the 2000s and 2010s, putting out albums like 'The Art of Dissent' in 2008 and 'Echoes of Resistance' in 2018.
They had other songs like 'Broken Parts' and 'California Sun' that showed their range within indie rock. The Dilettantes developed a following for music that didn't shy away from personal or political themes.
