About Janice Doll
Every now and then a musical unit comes together out of the blue for all the right reasons. A need for quality expression in the universal language that breaks down all barriers on all fronts is music today and this dynamic (4) piece from Brazil have it all and more. Best of all these guys have done the hard yards and worked their local market to build a solid story that sets them up along with their extensive fan base to go to the next level along with an international management team that truly believe in their craft. Vancouver is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. As a student in a Canadian school, Paul Hodel (singer/songwriter) met a lot of great bands that gave him inertial motivation to write songs and to think about creating a band. In 2002, when he returned to Brazil with a home computer and an acoustic guitar, he gave birth to the first demo with strong grunge influences. When he met Leo Krieger (bass) and gave him a copy, they decided to start the band. One year later, Frank Martins (guitars) joined the band, and Leo invited Fab Krieger (drums), his brother, to finally complete the Janice Doll quartet.
Their first EP 'No Second Thoughts' was released in late 2005 and came with plenty of energy and was not enough, the song 'Fall Apart' hit more then 100,000 views in the first month on You Tube. With a huge tour, they transformed the songs into an electrical-crazy-strong performance, always leaving the crowd with a really great impression and yearning for more. Increasing their fan base was natural, and they began to command great respect in the underground scene. One year later, they come out with their second EP 'Walking in the Third Floor', bringing a great range of impressions and evident maturity to their audience. Janice Doll's music fuses influences from Smashing Pumpkins, Muse to Nirvana and then adds a modern touch without any electronic samples. Crafting an intense vocal melody, power guitars, drums with a strong punch and a creative bass gives Janice Doll a special sonority that sometimes makes you remember a lot of different things, or nothing at all.
Paul Hodel, used to be a computer programmer, exploring the benefits of the Internet and giving Janice Doll a little bit of the world, made the results arrived pretty swiftly. Through the magic of My Space and the internet, they met Michael A Puskas, Astral Records / DEAD Famous Artists CEO, with whom they have now signed a management contract. Two weeks later, Janice Doll was chosen to provide music cues for the new TV Series, 'Callabar Stone Age Warrior', which is slated for production in the latter half of 2007. DEAD Famous is already looking into the lucrative world of film, television and advertising placement and licensing opportunities for the bands material and have recently hooked them up with Music Supervisor (US), Song Catalog (Canada), Blue Buddha Entertainment (US), Pump Audio (US) and 444 Music Placement (UK) among others. Janice Doll will take part in three compilations around the world with the song 'London Please' in 'Stay in the Box Volume I' Matchbox
Records/UK, 'RPMB' Rollapedra Records/BR, and 'Dead Famous' Astral Records/AUS. Their debut album 'Silent Seasons' a promising eclectic mix album with UK based rock and that all important European influence will be release by Astral Records. They are currently working on their second album and the first world wide tour will be coming soon. For more check out the websites.
