Cover artwork, track listing for DOLL’s ‘The Ragdoll Diaries’ unveiled

Ottawa’s premiere female fronted alternative rock band is proud to announce their second full length album, titled ‘The Ragdoll Diaries’ a hard hitting follow up to the popular debut ‘Inside The Dollhouse’. The album was recorded by Jason Jaknunas (Buried Inside, Souljazz Orchestra) and mastered by David Cain (Zeus, Big Jesus Truck), and features the extremely catchy and empowering track ‘FMO’ as nominated for Music Video of the Year by the 2011 Ottawa Film Festival. The album cover and artwork were created by Kyle Skinner of Siniestro Design.

“The Ragdoll Diaries” will be available in numerous formats, as a standard jewel case CD, a 180 gram LP vinyl and via digital download.

Order yours now! Presale packages are now available via http://doll.bigcartel.com or on www.facebook.com/dollband.

The Ragdoll Diaries is undoubtebly Doll’s best work to date, working alongside producer Jason Jaknunas, Christina Kasper’s lyrics and vocal performance provides a call to all, to stand and believe in yourself, take action, to never be silent. The intensity of the drum and bass, emphasized by the intricate guitar work and atmospheric solo’ing rounds out an album that has it all, amazing musicianship, honest lyrics, and a truth that’s been missing in music for some time.

The album will drop November 18 on Grunge Never Died, You Did! Records.
