Die Mannequin

Die Mannequin is a Canadian alternative rock band fronted by the charismatic and edgy Care Failure (born Caroline Kawa). Formed in the mid-2000s in Toronto, the group quickly gained attention for their raw, high-energy sound that mixes punk, hard rock, and glam influences. Die Mannequin’s music is known for its gritty guitar riffs, anthemic choruses, and Care’s distinct, snarling vocals, which helped set them apart in the Canadian rock scene.

Their breakout came with EPs like Unicorn Steak and Slaughter Daughter, which showcased their aggressive but melodic style. They later released full-length albums such as FINO + BLEED and Neon Zero, continuing to push their sonic boundaries with a darker, more polished production style. Known for explosive live performances and a fiercely DIY spirit, Die Mannequin carved out a dedicated fanbase and left a lasting impact on Canada's rock landscape.
