Doll Skin is an all female rock band from Phoenix, Arizona. The band is made up Meghan Herring (Drummer), Sydney Dolezal (Vocals), Nicole Rich (Bass), and Alex Snowden (Guitar). Their sound has been described as hard hitting blend of punk, metal, alternative, pop, and rock. Doll Skin has been affectionately compared to bands ranging from The Donnas to The Go-Go's and to The Runaways.[1]

History

In 2013, the members began their collaborative work. The initial goal of the project was to compete in a local battle of the bands called Rock Revolution, at Desert Mountain High School in Scottsdale, AZ. In attendance that night was David Ellefson, bassist of the influential band Megadeth, and a celebrity judge. While Doll Skin did not win Rock Revolution that night (they did, however, win the previous year's competition), their time on stage left Ellefson convinced of their potential.[2] He approached Doll Skin after the show offering to produce their music and manage their brand—this offer was eagerly accepted.[3]

In November 2014, Doll Skin competed in and were a finalist in the Alice Cooper's "Proof is in the Pudding" music competition.[4] In December 2014, they were featured in the Phoenix New Times as one of the 10 Best Bands and Musicians in Phoenix Under the Age of 21.[5] In March 2015, they were again featured in the Phoenix New Times as one of the top 15 bands to watch for in 2015.[6] In April 2015, they were the cover story of the North Valley Magazine as "Teen Sensations" rock band.[7] In October 2015, Doll Skin released their debut album, "In your Face" via EMP Label Group and distributed by Megaforce Records (a division of Sony Music Entertainment/RED Distribution) in North America. The record was produced by David Ellefson, EMP Label Group.[8] "In Your Face" was mixed by the American record producer, sound engineer, former owner of Crush Recording Studios in Scottsdale, Arizona and founder of Area 52 Entertainment in Los Angeles, California, Ryan Greene.[9] In November 2015, Doll Skin was again referenced by the Phoenix New Times as the #1 band under the age of 21 in Phoenix, Arizona by stating that "It would be wholly impossible to discuss underage bands in Phoenix who are rocking it out without bringing Doll Skin up first.".[10] In December 2015, "In Your Face" was released in Europe, Asia and Australia by Cargo Records.[11][12] The EP, and first single, "Family of Strangers", has received airplay on many prominent stations in the US, Europe and Asia, including the influential LA Rock station KROQ,[13] and their debut song "Family of Strangers" landed on the CMJ Loud Rock Chart at #34.[9] In January 2016, Doll Skin was included in a list of the "10 Best Female Fronted Bands In Phoenix" by the Phoenix New Times.[14] The prominent talent representation firm, Circle Talent Agency, is Doll Skin's talent agent.[15]
