Bleed
Another ferocious find for Cannibal Cheerleader faithful today, as Toronto-based trio Die Mannequin came ripping and gnashing through out inbox, out our speakers, and down out throats like a poison-tipped sabre, except replace the poison with the malice that is singer Care Failure’s slobbering, blood-guzzling bellow. Rocketing skyward on the backs of several successful EPs, having once featured former Death From Above 1979 members as well as E. Kath of none other than Crystal Castles, Die Mannequin remains one of the few alt-rock female-fronted groups with not only a sense of depth to their songwriting but a set of balls that crushes even their most machismo-ridden male counterparts. Their new record FINO + BLEED may just catapult this band to superstardom based on its carefree rampage and squalling guitar lines, not to mention Failure’s utterly electrifying and inimitable voice. Definitely worth checking out CC faithful.

I was supposed to see them open for Marilyn Manson back in Sept. but the lead singer fell off stage and broke her arm. Too bad.

Mark, she turned her ankle on stage and broke her foot. Didn't fall off stage, or break her arm…but yes, too bad.
Bleed, great review of F+B!

That's just what Manson said on stage. I should have known with his tendency to embellish.
