The Lillingtons (1995-2001, 2006-2008) are a punk rock band from Newcastle, Wyoming.Considered a pop punk act by contemporaries, their first full-length album, titled "Shit Outta Luck", was released on Clearview Records in 1996.

The original lineup consisting of Kody Templeman, Zack, Cory, and Tim as a four-piece only recorded the first 7","I Lost My Marbles", produced by Joe King of The Queers for his "More Bounce to the Ounce" compilation CD. The band continued as a three-piece after Zack quit.After a series of vinyl-only releases, the band decided to change their sound, and in 1999 they went into the studio with producer-engineer Mass Giorgini to record a new LP. The result was "Death By Television", an album that took sci-fi movie-themed songs such as "War Of The Worlds" and "Invasion Of The Saucermen" and combined them with tracks that made references to other retro themes, such as "X-Ray Specs" and "I Need Some Brain Damage".

The band spent the next two years touring heavily within the punk scene and disbanded after teaming with Giorgini for one last album, the spy-themed LP "The Backchannel Broadcast," released in February 2001 on Lookout! Records. The album included the song "Wait It Out", written by Ben Weasel and later re-recorded by The Riverdales for their record "Phase Three."

John Jughead (of Screeching Weasel and Even in Blackouts) filled in as second guitar on many tour stops on the "Death by Television" and "Backchannel" tours. Other notable appearances on these tours include Ben Weasel (at The Fireside in Chicago, his first stage appearance since 1995), and Lurch Nobody. Timmy V left the band after "Death by Television" and was replaced by Austin, Texas drummer Scott.

Red Scare Industries reissued "Death By Television" and "Backchannel Broadcast" in 2005. The band split for a few years before reuniting with all original members to release a new album, "The Too Late Show" in 2006 with no plans on reuniting for a tour to support due to the members' other commitments. The band gave permission for their music to be used in the 2007 Internet video production "Homeless Hero".

Frontman Templeman is currently a member of Laramie, Wyoming pop punk band Teenage Bottlerocket. Drummer Timmy V is currently playing as a hired hand with Albuquerque, New Mexico all girl three-piece The Eyeliners, and plays drums in his own project Stabbed in Back, a solo hardcore/punk project entitled "A Portrait of Noise". Templeman, bassist Cory, guitarist Zach, and Ray and Brandon from Teenage Bottlerocket have a side project, Sack, which released the album"Get Wrecked" on Clearview Records.
