The singer from Damad does not sound like a guy. She does extreme vocals in an extreme band. I'm not sure why some people seem to think that if a band has a female vocalist, and she's not doing clean vocals, that she is trying to sound like a male. Seems mabey a little insulting.
Incidentally, I don't think that very many guys could have even come close to pulling off Victoria's vocals from BurningCold. - Mon, 2 Feb 2004 4:15pm

My Ruin is great. I have been a fan of Tairrie B since she was in Manhole,she has definitely been an influence. Other great female fronted bands to check out, OTEP, Crisis, and Drain STH are all very cool.I prefer Manhole over My Ruin, but still it is good - Thu, 5 Feb 2004 5:03pm

Can't believe Damad came up here. cool you guys.
There's not enough you can say about Victoria (Damad's vocalist). I met them when they played here in Van to about 12 of us at the Space in '98 or so? Then I was lucky enough to see them again in Texas in 2000 maybe, after she'd had her baby - she was saying pretty intensly how I just had to experience having one haha! A while later I remember getting the e-mail that their guitarist had died from a seizure - sickening to hear about, they're awesome people, demise of the band too.
I've STILL got their sticker on an old purse I've got.
I've got Burning Cold but I liked Rise and Fall better. can't find it, damnit. - Sat, 7 Feb 2004 6:28pm

Thanks Riley, maybe livemusicvancouver should sponsor one. If we ever end up doing one I will let you know so you can get in on it. Seems you have to put on our own these days - Sun, 8 Feb 2004 9:29am
