Nipping, or perhaps biting, at the heels of
Hannah Montana and
the Jonas Brothers come Toronto tween girl group
Done with Dolls. Formed in 2008,
Done with Dolls consist of four members: sisters Jordan (bass guitar) and Kylie Miller (vocals and guitar), Eliza Enman (drums), and Megan Fitchett (guitar). The band started after the Millers' father signed up both girls for guitar lessons at the ripe old ages of six and eight, respectively. Initially, they began a group with Fitchett and two brothers, cheekily calling themselves Sisters Others and Brothers, or SOB. When that fell through, they found classmate Enman and auditioned her, and
Done with Dolls were born. The group's teen angst-lite songs, much like the girls, are wholesome enough to be parent-friendly, but still have depth and edge that up their cool factor, which appeals to a slightly broader audience than the brace-face giggly set. The foursome sing about exactly what you think they would: boys, fights with friends, and their families, but their melodies and song structures are less
Spice Girls and more
the Go-Go's or fellow Canadian pop/rock girl
Avril Lavigne. Their self-titled debut EP was released in February of 2009 on iTunes and then in disc form the next month, with much publicity and corporate sponsorship from major companies (such as makeup giant Rimmel and perfumer Coty) as they started to branch out of Canada.
