About Me

More psychological than musical, Fear of Dolls created a sound bordering on the absurd and was an affront to the very fundamentals of what a "rock" band should or even could be. The combination of noise and nonsense, any and all things childish, exaggerated, and irrational, resulted in an incredible cacophony that transports you back to a time when you still believed monsters lived under your bed.
With that foundation, we simply wrote and played music without a care in the world, finding strange joys and comforts in the confusion that was often instilled upon the innocent bystanders who found themselves within our walls. The ground often seemed to tremble, if only in our audience's minds, from an emotionally threatening, dark, ambient noise. Flames turned to ash and back to flames again over the years, leaving even us questioning the status of our existence.
Formed in 1995 by Greg Forschler, the music and members have been constantly shifting and evolving ever since, and degenerating, yet breathing in various forms, since 2001, into a perpetual state of uncertainty and flux. The band has had two distinct singers amongst its often ambiguous personnel changes, and is currently fronted by Greg and vocalist Bonni, who joined in 2000 along with her doll Chatty Patty. Shows are a rare surprise, and recordings still continue to surface.
